Mount a shower curtain inside the glass. This will keep them (mostly) from
getting wet in the first place.

Use one of the various brands of "after shower" cleaning spray on your
entire shower. Just spray on, no hands on cleaning, and you won't be
scrubbing again, and clear glass stays clear.

When I was a child I saw the man next door being given first-aid.
He had fallen through the glass doors above the bathtub. That image is
still in my mind 62 years later.

A few years ago I slipped in the shower and fetched up pretty hard
against the shower doors. I thought sure I was a goner, but I just
bounced off of them. I'm no lightweight (250 lbs), but those doors
just rang like a bell and shrugged me off. I believe they were
installed in 1992, and the previous owner of my house paid $800
for them, which was a ton of money IMHO.
They're clear. I hate them. (We used to have a well, and I'm not
sure I've ever seen them clean.) But I don't hate them enough to
replace them, or to make a lot of effort to clean them. We
squeegee and when I feel like it I scrub them.
The track, however, is not too bad, being L shaped rather than U
shaped.

tempered doors can withstand a golfball or baseball bat hit, or running into
them pretty hard. it takes something sharp like a knife or nail, or a blow
to an edge, before they'll blow.
62 years ago, they didn't have laws about tempered doors or windows.
