The reality is almost no glass tabletop is tempered. They are just thick
glass.
I learned that one the hard way when we dropped a bowl from a height of
about 6" to the tabletop.
Could be. I found this place

They state the 3/8" top is tempered. I'd then assume the thicker ones are
not. If broken a 3/4" thick section is less likely to slice through your
gut than a thin one.
Other than maybe a cheap garage sale patio table with a 'captive' glass
insert in the top, no way would I ever pay money for a glass table. My
decrepit body has already got too many scars, and I am way too much of
klutz. I don't need furniture that can kill me if I trip over it in the
dark.
