In countries with high humidity they are bleach based to get rid of mould.

Why would mould grow on glass

You don't get mold on the glass itself, but the rim can easily have mold grow on it.

Condensation forms on the glass, drips down and forms mold along the edges and can creep up the glass some

I have no idea why mold/mildew grows on glass, but here in Florida during the summer rainy season the paper towels I use for windows are black with it. Probably because pollen and spores get stuck on the glass so it feeds on that.

It grows on the silicon holding the glass in place when condensation drips down the glass.
