why can’t glasses be made of the same material as used in contact lenses? They wouldn’t break so easily

I’m genuinely curious. Is it about the shape, durability or something else?

Materials behave differently in different thicknesses. Farther from the eye you need a different refractive index for the lense to focus the picture correctly so much different shape with the same material. But apart from that contact lenses need moisture to stay flexible and good. It would be hard to achievs for glasses to be constantly moistured.
