The reason is simple -- photons travel through glass

Although photons do travel through glass faster the real reason glass is better is that light waves can pass through each other unchanged. Think of two beams from flashlights at 90ø angles passing through each other. This means multiple streams of data can pass through a single fibre concurrently without disturbing each other.

Can't do that with electrons/magnetism.
