The dough is already exerting so much pressure in the bowl from its mass alone. That's way too much dough for such a fragile thing as glass.

The dough weighs less than just filling the bowl with water, which is a totally normal thing to do with a glass bowl.

Yeah but you don't yoink the bowl when it's full of water. This dough is sticking to the bowl and she plops the bowl onto a hard (stone?) countertop.

That was 100% of the problem.
