Why do we board up the windows of abandoned or currently renovating buildings instead of leaving the glass?

A small apartment building near my house is being renovated and they’ve removed all the windows and doors and covered them with plywood. Presumably there wasn’t a problem with EVERY window, so why take them all out and board them up? I imagine they were intending to replace them, but why take them out as the very first step in the reno?

Good chance it’s part of the demo phase of the project. Big jobs will often sub out a demolition contractor to prep the site for the builders to come in and do thier thing.
