When people need this
Feeding a model into scan-processing software — MeshLab, CloudCompare, a photogrammetry pipeline — or exporting for research tools that expect PLY.
GLB to PLY converter
PLY is the format of scanners and photogrammetry: a straightforward list of vertices and faces, with colour stored per vertex rather than in a texture. This conversion puts a modelled asset into the same world as scanned data.

Textures do not become vertex colours. PLY can hold colour per vertex, but a texture is a different thing and it is not baked down during conversion.
