This looks great, is there any reason why it cannot easily be fitted to
the rear window instead of windscreen?

No reason why not although getting an ignition switched power feed might be
trickier.

Like most of other things, there good ones and poor ones, and what I
read and seen I would not be so keen to buy that one. I don't mean what
I have read about the lidl dashcam, I mean other dashcams.

How long will it be before manufacturers start fitting dash/rearview
cams as standard?


Many already fit video cameras, although mostly for the car's computer
(e.g. to detect pedestrians) or to give external views when parking. It
only needs a slight change for them to add recording to the in-car video
systems.
