Love the car, but I have 2 big disappointments

correct.

I do believe a film is left on the screen (under the initial protective shipping plastic) from the factory to protect the occupant and prevent head impact injuries as well as to prevent projectiles, glass shards being dispersed during a dynamic event... mostly regulatory

I don't see this on mine. I'm not saying someone else didn't remove it (e.g., during PDI or vehicle prep), but when I installed my screen protector last night, I saw no evidence of a second plastic film or overlay (above and beyond the first one that has words on it).

I don't doubt your user case because this is definitely something easily missed or potentially removed. Mine still has it.

I am just past the two-week mark and am loving just about everything on the car. But, I do have 2 huge disappointments.

The first, because it is more impactful on a daily basis, is that the touch screen is plastic, not glass. And, it scratches very easily. I already have 2 permanent fingerprints on the screen where the home and back buttons are and one starting on the Home Screen where you choose the current source or phone. It looks like even the microfiber towel I was using to clean off regular fingerprints is putting fine scratches across the whole screen. I don't notice it much with the top up, but when the top is down and the sun shines in, they are quite obvious. Only 15 days in and this happened! My 2015 was 9 years old and didn't have a scratch. What is this going to look like in 1 or 2 years? Very disappointing! If anyone has suggestions for cleaning that won't scratch or repairs, please reply.

The second disappointment will occur less often, but is none the less very disappointing. With the top down, when I pass 85mph, the windshield shutters violently. Not just the glass, but the entire structure from the A-pillars right down to the rearview mirror. I have the strut tower brace and I believe all Verts have the sub-brace and still this shuttering. My 2015 was rock-solid with the top down to at least 120mph. Never really tried to get her past that. No idea why this would be. The structure of the car is virtually the same from the S550 to S650 so why this development. Again, if anyone has some input here, would be much appreciated.

Get a high quality screen protector. Mine went on the day i took the plastic off, they even have ppf versions available.
