Default I've seen something like this a few times. Usually if traceable, it is the result

of a sharp blow to the glass at some point. I've seen windshield's fall apart after at tech or lot porter drops the wiper blade(s) onto the glass too hard during PDI or washing. And in shipping sometimes a chain that holds down another car overhead has some extra length that ends up resting or or striking the windshield/backlight, or moonroof. The glass looks OK in those cases, but not that long after, shatters when exposed to thermal shock (warm day + a/c or cold day with heater).

Default Wow, sorry to see...

Hopefully your dealer will cover the repair, and not your insurance...

Porsche 914 windows would shatter when you closed (not slammed) the door.
