Why do new bathroom accessories always have glass tumblers when these could damage a washbasin if dropped?

We've recently refurbished our bathroom and have been shopping for new accessories. Ignoring the cheap & nasty, all the manufacturers of good quality toothbrush/mug holders have heavy glass tumblers in them. If you happen to drop one of these into a ceramic washbasin because your hands are wet I would have thought it quite likely that damage would ensue to one or even both items.
Has anyone out there dropped one of these heavy glass tumblers into a washbasin? What happened?
With todays modern plastics you'd think they could provide high quality lightweight tumblers in their products.

Totally agree. It's the usual problem of designers without commonsense.
