My take on this is that outgassing from.plastics in the car is the biggest culprit.

But organic material in your breath, and from the air plays a role too.
Pollen, dust, small droplets of spit and mucus from coughing and breathing, oil vapor and exhaust from the other cars on the road.

I imagine all this stuff condensing in to the oily film that I habitually have to clean off my own windshield from time to time.
