This issue should receive renewed attention after the announcement's of this past week's WWDC, where Apple announced native support for the USDZ* format, which natively allows display of these 3D files, including from the web, as 3D models and in AR.

I would gladly become a Patron of this project if a commitment were to be made to integrate this capability. Do reach out to me to let me know if you want to take me up on this. Here is a resource that should assist the effort: https://github.com/kcoley/gltf2usd
Good to know. I guess I need to evaluate the effort.
USD is the #1 requested format that I encounter.
