It's a bigger jump in logic to assume that they're not, when you have no evidence at all to support such a claim.

Not really. You're comparing the manufacture of various models of entire vehicles, which have dozens of designs manufactured in numerous plants using thousands of parts supplied by hundreds of companies, to a single part using a very small number of raw materials in a fairly consistent design and manufacturing process that, with respect to the reputable brands, is used to manufacture both OEM and aftermarket glass. That analogy doesn't work at all.
