I figure that is one of the main reasons. Also, canning jar rings and lids are universal. Buy brand X "regular mouth" rings and they will fit any true canning jar no matter what company made the jar. Same for the lids.choose Mason or Ball type glass canning jars because rings and lids are easy to use, provide a tight seal & cheap to replace.
Something to keep in mind is that true glass canning jars are a tempered glass designed to handle temperatures in a pressure canner that go well above the boiling point of water. My experience has been that curb-side and drop-off recycling programs do not want canning jars mixed in because they might cause issues with the melting process, etc....yes you can recycle any glass container but we specifically choose Mason or Ball type glass canning jars ...
At least one of the major canning jar manufacturers is making jars specifically for blocking UV light. Same lids and rings but a different color. The glass color is similar to that brown you mentioned. Price on the UV light blocking jars is ridiculous but people are buying them.I'm just thinking that brown apothecary glass probably would be great, bit of added protection against rays.
