It's not an impossible problem to solve, Qi just doesn't care. Qualcomm solved it with their wireless charging standard 10 years ago
I don't think I've seen a "premium" phone with a plastic back in a LONG time
There's a wide range of plastics, it gets a bad rap because of the cheap shit that's often used, but there's absolutely a "high end" plastic side of the scale that can beat glass and not nearly as fragile
Well, they’re definitely less these days but the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Motorola Razr 60, OnePlus 13, Motorola Edge 50 and Pixel 9a are all premium or even flagship phones (between 500€ and over 1000€) that have plastic backs.
And glass also gets a bad rep. The time where your iPhone 4S back shatters because you dropped it from 30cm is no more, at least in premium phones. Sure, it can break, while plastics usually won’t, but they’re so much less likely to break from dropping, these days. Gorilla Glass and Apples Ceramic Shield do surprisingly well even with heavier abuse.
But yes, I wouldn’t mind some quality plastic options used on more premium phones. But it’s not quite as bad as you make it out to be.
My Pixel 3a was so good it took me a while to even realise it was plastic. Survived multiple drops without case with just a few scuffs. Well untill it didn't anyway
