Putty was made in the days of single pane windows, that was a long time ago. Panels can also be made with silicones – probably along with foams, the most misused (and "for safety" preferably overdosed) substances in construction. If this were suitable for bonding, on the other hand, it would make non-destructive replacement more expensive and much less likely.

In this case, however, the problem is likely a combination of unclean manufacturing conditions and insufficiently sealed window panes.
