Windshields are one of the most regulated parts of a car. It can not be lighter or more "fragile" then any other car. It is however lower and larger than many which exposes it to more hazards and may slightly increase the risk of damage. Glass chips, and if it happened after 100 miles or a 100,000,000 it is more the shape, velocity and angle of impact of the object that causes it than the windshield itself.
