I agree, the glass is there for a reason. No one puts extra parts into a projector design unless it serves a useful purpose. Even my old Kodascope 50 (vintage 1936) has a centrifugal shutter which blocks the light from the film if the film is not running. But, on the other hand, who really needs still and reverse projection? As film collectors, I bet none of us ever use either of these features, but of course these machines were all marketed as recording machines which could lay down elaborate sound tracks, and for that you probably do need still and reverse capability.
