Gorilla Glass still breaks, I've seen plenty of shattered Gorilla Glass screens. Ultimately a game system with a scratched screen is still usable, one with a shattered screen -- not so much. 

So I think that was the right call design wise. The design of the dock though, personally I think it's bloated because they want to make it seem like it's a "console" and it's doing something when really it's not doing anything really but outputting the HDMI signal. It's 70% wasted space and has an unneccessary plastic "holder" that could scratch the screen if you're not very careful. Unneccessary. 

No, a plastic screen will break before a gorilla glass under the same stress and not to mention that endurance decreases on plastic when heat is added, give it time people will come up with creative cracked design on their switch. But that said even i think its a right choice to go with a plastic screen coz it has higher level of rigidity and low glare, but other part have been designed very poorly, like those joycons shoulder straps which doesnt come off easily if u put on the wrong the side, i pretty sure dock will be redesigned but that will be for future slim BS, but i think right now it will much more affordable to just give a glass protector for free of cost.
