Because glass is amorphous (doesn't have all the microscopic fissures and edges for something to grab ahold of) and is biologically inactive and so forms a smooth impervious surface due to it's being a super cooled liquid (ever notice old window panes seem thicker at the bottom than the top...the liquid is flowing due to gravity). Some glues do stick to glass...the manufacturers know which types of glue to put in glass containers and which to put in other types (like metallic tubes). If they didn't, they'd be out of business pretty fast.

It would if the air&glue ratio were correct. Thats why it has a cap. Leave the cap off a couple weeks and observe the results. I can bet glue will stick to the bottle.

I think , glue bottles have a special lining that the glue doesn't stick to.

It has a cover to protect it from the air, leave the top off for a few months. I just went through this with a bottle of wood glue, it cost me another six bucks.

I have always wondered about that myself.
some glues respond to oxygenation ....when let out of the tube.

the adhesive properties of the glue are activated on contact with the air.
