Why would spaceships still have acrylic/glass windows when force fields are cheap and reliable?

Force field technology has come a long way. The latest energy-efficient engines can guarantee stable energy output in any situation, making force fields extremely reliable and very cost effective compared to acrylic and glass. Power failure is a thing of the past. Force fields eliminate the need for decompression chambers because the fields can allow both organic and inorganic objects to pass through unharmed while preventing air from escaping. Given such a future, why would any spaceship still have acrylic/glass window?
