Hell, no. All it takes is one trip on something walking out of the coffee shop, using a straw because of sensitive teeth, and I’m possibly dead or paralyzed.
Paralyzed because of a stainless steel straw - all it takes is one time and the public will correctly reject the concept forever.
I’m really not seeing it. A rod of any kind in the mouth is very dangerous - as can be seen by the thousands of toothbrush injuries every year.
Glass, unless it’s a wine glass, most likely just gives you a bunch of cuts. Might need surgery, but better than paralysis!

Five Guys already sell them in the UK at their counters. You get a cardboard box, a stainless steel straw, and ... a steel & plastic brush to clean your straw. I wish I was kidding.
I bought some since I couldn't find any plastic ones and these definitely didn't come with anything like that. If I were to fall with one of these straws it would be like falling onto a fork.
