I wonder if the culprit is a cleaning product. Some kind of contamination that chemically weakens glass? Or an abrasive that introduces tiny scratches?

More likely metal expansion and pressure on the glass. Same reason why car sunroofs are mysteriously blowing out.

The models all use a large pane of tempered glass, not the typical porthole designs of old ovens.
