No they don’t, they pick mirrors because they’re guaranteed to be flat at a low price.

Glass is guaranteed to be flat. The thicker the flatter, and mirrors tend to be thin.

Glass is absolutely not guaranteed to be flat or without defect. Some glasses are. Mirrors have to be or they don’t work, they come precut in 300x300mm plates for cheap from IKEA. You’re free to check absolutely any thread from the time to see what people’s motivations were. Moving mass on a bedslinger would’ve been a bigger consideration.
