They might be. The thing to worry about is that once the fluid is put in you have to make sure that it is scrapped level otherwise you will have a permanent bump which will show every time you use the wipers. To me that would drive me more nuts than having a small pit.
The issue is that the pit has to be deep enough so the fix will be able to stick otherwise the wipers will eventually remove it. That was told to me by numerous windshield repair places when I asked it they could fill those tiny pits. If it's a deep pit or a star then the fix can be made to go into those areas and anchor it.
Good luck.

I hear you. On the way back home from the dealer after I signed all the paper work we got a rock chip right in front of me, but below my eye level, and we also got a small rock chip on the hood. I was so pissed, but then realized that this will happen if I drive it, and as my wife reminded me you ain't spending this much money for a car that sits in the garage. I already have one of those. I was scheduled to have XPEL put on the car the next day. 
I think because these types of cars sit lower than sedans the windshields are more prone to rock hits, and I also think like you the glass is softer. It could be that the rocks are harder, but that doesn't make sense.

Do the town officials sit on the side of the road and just laugh at everyone as they pass by?

but then our cars will be even heavier. 
Wouldn't want to know what the windshield is!

It literally sucks. Even a small pebble kicked up under 40mph results in a nice white pit. I never had a car with such poor durability glass. It's crap. Only stays nice if you don't drive the car, or only drive when hardly anyone is on the road. Lexus should get their ***** together and deliver on glass. It is possible to make glass that shatters easily without making it prone to blemishes with everything that is thrown at it.
That's why I didn't get the driver door window replaced. I knew it was a matter of time before it happens elsewhere.
Not up for putting glass film on the windshield either. Heck, I'm surprised the rear window is still free from pitting!
