I really don't understand the issue with this, at all. Plastic saves on costs, and is more durable than glass. I genuinely couldn't care less as long as the screen itself is glass (which the S5 screen was glass).
There is good plastic and bad plastic. Samsung has always made shitty phones but the S5 was made of some seriously thin, chrome-covered toy-grade junk. The S6 and beyond stepped up the hardware quality a lot. Phone didn’t creak in your hand etc
