Where did the cracks originate? If they all started at one of the corners, then you have reason to be concerned about stress from the windshield frame. But the replacement glass installers should have noticed if there was anything unusual (e.g. roughness in the sealant or welding)

If the cracks all started with rock hits (even small ones), blame them on the random nature of rock hits. All cars can get cracks from rock hits. The short hood, and upright angle of the windshield may make the Element a bit more vulnerable to rock hits, but that is hard to test or prove.
