I had the BMW glass cover (you show on the original message) installed on my RS TFT before I took delivery of my 2020. My sales person advised he found the TFT difficult to keep clean and recommended it. So I can't say anything about the different between having it and not having it. There is a lot of dust in my garage from wind and nearby crop fields. This cover is rigid glass, not a flexible, plastic cover, it's very sturdy, and I feel I don't have to treat it softly.
I saw the salesman install the one on my RS, he did it easily (lots of experience?). I installed a flexible plastic one on the Kawasaki ZH2 TFT and it was impossible for me to do it without bubbles (a couple of small ones), it was $35 and appears like a sacrificial cover that would be easy to replace if it is scratched. The BMW is glass and appears to be sturdier than the TFT cover itself. I like it and I would do it again.
