Sure the gorilla glass isn't indestructible, but rock pits and scratches will be less of an issue with it.

Gorilla glass isn't used for phones because its supposed to be indestructible, its used because it is harder and less prone to scratching from things like keys in your pocket. Same concept applies to all the crap that gets flung at your window.
Yep, that's kinda how it was explained to me in Moab. You could see what a chip did to reg glass vs Gorilla, and the reg glass would eventually crack where as the Gorilla was just the small mark.
