This is still an impressive technical achievement nearly a century later.
As another commenter has already mentioned, there really is something to be said for a business picking one thing- just a single specialty- and doing it really d**ned well.
Maybe Corning can give me some pointers on how to get a modest 3'x3' piece of glass for my coffee table back from my local home improvement store without having it shatter into a million pieces...

People who deal with decent-sized chunks of glass or other brittle materials like stone countertops have vehicles with structures built to support what's being transported safely. For a 3x3 piece, a rack in the back of a pickup truck would likely work fine, if it was a larger tabletop then a glass contractor vehicle with a larger carrying space on the side would be needed. A thicker piece of glass might also work better.
