Many states have a requirement that insurance companies pay the full cost with, no deductible, of a windshield replacement or repair. In these states driving with a cracked windshield makes you a law enforcement target.

The way it operates is that there is no financial reason not to replace the windshield, so a person driving with a cracked windshield probably doesn't have insurance.
