Unless its quartz glass or something wouldn't it be blocking pretty much all of the UVC?

Yes I'd wager they're soda lime and ought to filter it. In absence of knowing the material, it's a hazard that can be mitigated with cheap PPE. Everyone can make their own choice, as long as it's informed.

Seems too inexpensive to be made of quartz to transmit the UVC. Typical glass will absorb it, possibly fluorescing a bit in the visible.
