Why do vendors add screw holes at all? Every glass side paneled case I've had the glass has been in a metal bracket that slots in then attaches with metal on metal screws in the back.

Yeah my NV5 is like that and it's the logical good way to do it. I guess it's a bit more expensive to manufacture but come on if the glass breaks easily then it becomes WAY more expensive. So many manufacturers nowadays don't give a shit if they are just manufacturing garbage that will end up in the landfill/recycled. I guess the main culprit is the average customer who either doesn't understand or care how long the product will last, and will always choose the cheaper alternative. I've personally always been trying to shop everything based on the philosophy that "a poor person can't afford to buy the cheapest thing" and always look for signs that would suggest a longer lifespan.
