In the UK - it is covered by most car insurances, doesn't count as a claim. Just £60 excess. (2018 car, had a recent experience) On many new cars cameras are self-calibrating.I had to have my windscreen replaced 2 years ago for a rock chip, cost me all of $250 usd to replace. I think they charge that just to re-calibrate the built-in camera when they replace the windscreen not to mention the cost of the glass and installation of all the stuff (not crap) attached to it. My guess is any new car with lots of tech, it will cost between $1,000-$2000 for a new front window replacement so one better keep a low deductible.
One of local car manufacturers has a policy of supplying after-market parts for 10'ish years after production of the model has stopped. And not because they are evil - amount of required storage is enormous... (for parts that may be purchased couple of times per year, or never)and none are built with the intention of them being on the road 20 years from now
