Default Weird window stimpling pattern

Any one know what this weird pattern is on the window? It is only visible from certain angles. It's not present on the front windshield or rear. I I think I saw it on one other vehicle.

Strain pattern refers to a specific geometric pattern of iridescence or darkish shadows that may appear under certain lighting conditions, particularly in the presence of polarized light (also called “quench marks”).

I've seen this on more than one vehicle. Don't believe it's anything to worry about
