Being in the business (formerly designed aircraft) windows are one of the toughest engineering challenges in an aircraft pressure vessel. It becomes even more complex now that pressure vessels will be made from wound carbon fiber.
Passengers will have to get use to the psychological effect. But knowing airline companies they won’t give a dang.

I might like that.
I love to fly and always wished planes were made of glass so I could have a 360 view.
