Short description of error
Imported glTF (or glb) files are having double vertices.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
1- Launch default Blender.
2- Export the cube as glTF or glb.
3- Import the glTF/glb file and notice the cube has double vertices that are not merged.

Hi all. glTF is a delivery format, not an interchange format. Internally, glTF stores its data the same way as "vertex attributes" in OpenGL/WebGL or other realtime graphics APIs, so that it is ready for rendering immediately even on mobile or low-power devices. As a result, glTF does not store vertices as merged as an artist might expect. Any vertices that have discontinuous UVs or discontinuous normals (as flat-shaded models do) must be split per-face to be stored in GPU-ready form.

So, this is not a bug, this is intended.

Here's a similar report on the GitHub repo, one of several: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Blender-IO/issues/912
