Mobius is not the best either.

You lose image quality, because if it has to remain light, then a plastic surface is also necessary, and such a surface does not have the transparency of glass and is also easier to scratch.
You need a cover, which in turn makes the device heavier.

Besides, it is not the glass module that is so heavy, but the stable base that is supposed to prevent the module from breaking under light pressure, and of course the battery.

None of my Mobius devices have the contrast and brilliance of my equally large "glass" devices.
But with large screens, it's easier to make them shatterproof.
