The rear windshield defrosters seem so much more effective. Is it just the lines across the drivers field of view that makes it decidedly unsafe?

Ignoring the modern high tech options, you can put a rear style on the front. Meaning the big chunky wires running across it. It’s fine a lot in racing because it’s cheap and easy to install. We did it in our amateur race car, bought a diy defrost kit and installed it inside the front windshield. In our case it’s because we have to keep the windows open while racing, even in the rain, which often leads to really fogged windshields. The diy kit + OEM blower do am amazing job.
In a street car the wires would drive you mad. On the race track is really easy to tune them out. I don’t notice them at all anymore. But on the street when you’re not having to concentrate so hard you’d see them a lot.

They can, but there’s already hot air available at the front of the car, so it’s cheaper to just use that. Running ductwork to the rear windshield is more expensive than running wires

Range Rover has them. If you looks close you can see squiggly lines all over the windshield. I believe it only comes with the cold weather package.

heated windscreens are standard in Ford cars, and any brand thats been owned by Ford.
so Volvo, Range Rover, Aston Martin for example

Jag f-pace (suv) replacement heated windshield is $1332 +$60 shipping + a few hours of labor +taxes, easily hits the $2k mark out the door.
It is nice though I almost never use it, definitely just as effective as the rear glass defrost, combine it with the heater and you can have a clear windshield in 10 minutes
