I have owned two Outbacks,
I have owned two Outbacks, 2012 & 2018 and for past 9 years. I've replaced the windshields three times, filed insurance claims that is offered by my Ins. Co. I owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2006-2012 and never had a cracked windshield. My observation has been that the Outback windshield is larger than my Jeep's, a lot more torsion affecting the larger windshield.
