Unfortunately, there are no news on this topic and there is no easy/standard/direct way of getting passthrough raw RGB data.

Meta already did it's public statement. Due to privacy, it's not gonna be. Just think about horror in anti AR people says each other soemthing like "Meta's new feature allows developers to spy on our own eyes, shame the devil!', you see?
