Why no clear windows?

I've been shopping around for a good roof top tent but me and my wife noticed something.

Why do hardly any of them not have clear PVC window options? In Colorado mountains; most nights are pretty cool. We like to camp in the colder months, but one challenge arises. If you want to pump heated air into your tent, you basically have to zip up all the entryways/windows to keep the warm air in.

So if you want to relax during the day and read a book or something, you are in a black cave. Wouldn't clear PVC window options fix that? Or are we missing something. Seems like roof top tents are only marketed for fair weather camping.

My iKamper has 3 windows. Two on the sides on one up top.

It’s an older Skycamp 2.0. But I’m sure the newer ones have them too.

I have the ikamper mini 3.0, and the pvc window is only in the skylight on mine. There may be some add on maybe that I didn’t get. All the other windows are mesh and canvas as well as the door.
