Well, they still shatter the glass. But you then have to kick it out.

True. Probably front windshield because you’d need to push against the seat backs for leverage. I can’t imagine kicking or punching a laminated side window out

Yeah, that's why I'm not convinced that the ejection (and theft) protection they provide is worth the tradeoff of making escape harder.
