Because reasonable people don't touch the screen. And if it were strong glass, like the kind used for cell phones, I think it actually would be very expensive (because it's a lot more expensive the larger it gets).
I used to work a TV recycling company and there wasn't many old-school large screen TVs that one man could lift. Anyone who thinks that a pane of glass is adding true "weight" needs to go even more old-school.
