Many dealers contract out to glass companies. On my 2016 golf I took it to the dealer because it had embedded defects from the factory.Second only to Colorado!
I had to make sure my insurance had a glass policy that included OEM. I had my original windshield replaced about 6 months ago due to a chip propogating into a crack right in my FOV. 1 month later took another rock to the passenger side that immediately cracked to the passenger A piller. I'm waiting until this winter is over, and I'll be back at the dealer getting windshield number 3 installed.
