That makes the device much lighter (thinner case, lighter display).

How often is this nonsense explained to me?
The module doesn't matter at all for the quality of the image - with an appropriate base, glass is also quite shatterproof; in terms of weight, there is hardly any difference.
The module needs a cover layer to the outside.
This can be made of plastic or glass - plastic is not as clear as glass - the image is worse; it can also be scratched much more easily.
The choice remains with 10.3: better image quality and slightly heavier vs. fairly shatterproof.
