This can also really depend on the windshield. It looks exactly like this in my ~40 year old car due to all the microscopic scratches the glass has accumulated over time. I should probably have it replaced at some point.
Mine isn’t that bad - only 20 years old but has seen all sorts of things from rocks and sand to hail and is just pitted bad enough to be annoying. But it’s that fact that I’ve seen the abuse it’s gone through without the first hairline crack that makes me cautious to get rid of something that’s stood the test of time. It’s either the angle or the glass (doubtful), but at this point it can’t be just luck, right? I just hear horror stories of replacement glass that isn’t fitted right, leaks, or breaks early on. I can deal with it a bit longer.
Yes, costs very little really (pad, holder for any drill I assume you have and glass polish, perhaps 40 $, mostly for the polishing compound), and only takes about an hour.

This is me, but replace the windshield with my eyes.
hopefully you have corrective lenses for your astigmatism.
My astigmatism is not my biggest issue with my eyes.
You’ll need eyes at least two times larger to fit a car, Derek.
The streaking was so bad on mine that I bit the bullet and just replaced the windshield.
If yer in the state of Florida just hit it with a rock.
Insurance companies are required to replace it, and your rates won’t go up.

Polish it.
i’m pretty sure you can buff those out with special glass polishing stuff
I’ve watched someone do it before but the results were not that convincing. It was a small improvement though.
