Wide ceramic cooktops carry a large central or bridging element that does most of the work, and it usually fails first simply because it is used hardest.
Very heavy stockpots concentrate load on the glass, which is stronger than it looks but not unlimited. Owners should lift rather than slide heavy pans, keep the surface clean, and have any zone that stops working diagnosed rather than working around it.
