There is a difference between strength and softness.
Plastic is stronger than glass but softer than glass. When you drop your phone you want strong, I would much rather have a strong but softer phone than a hard but brittle phone.
If you want a plastic screen you will have to buy some of the cheapest of the cheapest of phones available.
This isn’t only an iPhone “problem”. Pretty much no modern smartphone has plastic screens because they suck. They scratch extremely easily and the touch is often bad.
In my experience phones are much more prone to conditions that expose them to scratches than to drops.
I absolutely don’t mind a glass screen. The back should be metal or plastic though.
