Do you mean, other than the obvious that glass is heavier and more delicate, so you do NOT want to have too much of it?

Also, there's the public relations factor - passengers want to fly in an aircraft that "feels" safe. And having too much glass in the front "feels" unsafe.

Also, multi-engine aircraft cockpits were (and remain) absolutely stuffed with instrument displays and controls - both below and above the windows.
