This is a very good point. I know many people got screwed by their dealer installing what they claim an OEM. It's OEM but it is not OEM production line quality. Only the one with fancy signature signature is glare free and comes from the same supplier that feeds production line.

For the first two or three years after a new model introduction, even aftermarket manufacturers won't have developed glass for new models, so they wouldn't show until 2023 at the earliest. Probably later, because they develop aftermarket glass for Toyotas and Fords first.
But as you point out, it's worth checking.
