Rant on glass doors (tw: doors, head injury)

Okay, so when I was a kid we were at the house of an acquaintance during easter, whatever. This house had an extremely out-of-place regular glass door near the exit of a hallway, just before entering the kitchen (One like on the picture, but singular.)

This piece of trash transparent floating handle door

Me being tiny, distracted and not noticing the door handle I walked my forehead right into a glass door. As a result, a massive easter egg on my forehead. My family still tells this story whenever a conversation turns into a door topic for whatever reason.

This was long ago and I don't care, but it kept me thinking; what's even the point of glass doors? It doesn't protect well, not as much as a regular door anyway. They're usually very fragile, so not for safety. Usually messes with the temperature as most of these don't isolate well with the gaps and all. Birds and people walk into them all the time. Other than natural light and aesthetics (debatable as well, btw), I don't see why people put these doors everywhere. Why are they so goddamn common? Has anyone else have problems with these types of doors?

And don't get me started on sliding or *shudders* revolving doors. Another story for another time.
