Soda–lime glass accounts for about 90% of manufactured glass.
The implication being that borosilicate glass accounts for at most 10% of global production.
It's the dominant type for thermal | bakeware where expansion factors matter, but overall not the most common glass type in production.

Re: snark - the point of HN is that we are better than that. If someone is snarky, then we shouldn't respond in kind. But I get it. It's easier to say than to do.
At no point did I claim that rare earth in glass was a bottleneck to solar panel manufacture, glass only arose as doping glass for specific properties is one of the many reasons why we process rare earth materials at all.
