it has nothing to do with the "glass."
I would say you are pretty close, we live in norcal as well, not the bay though. Out of the 3 cars that see some driving they all have had cracked windshields in the last couple years. Roads and where you drive in general has the most to do with it. People who don't drive on highways or drive where there is a lot of large truck traffic (every highway around us has lots of trucking traffic).
I would ALWAYS replace with OE glass, but that's just how I roll. Some of the frequency of complaints probably also has to do with the surface area of a NB window, more area to hit than in other cars (also remember the people with the problems are the ones you hear from). The crack in ours started as a very small chip in the black part of the window on the edge, would have never cracked but we didn't see it until it had become a crack.
