Eh, it's more that it's somewhat wasted, as one can't exactly cut a square into glass (compared to acrylic). At least a solid panel could be cut into to put in a 140mm fan for direct GPU cooling, or a mesh panel could allow for more breathability depending on fan setups, or could have additional fan mounts.
In my case, I'm already having to research cases with a solid side panel that I could buy a replacement of and tweak a bit to use as a replacement for the tempered-glass side.
Do cases really need fans in the side blowing onto the GPU anymore? Good airflow in the case kinda negates the need for that does it not.
I guess some SFF or Matx might do, but not any sort of tower surely.
