Default Windshield Pits

NOTE: Sorry for not checking first. There are several other posts about this even in the last 2-3 months. I believe I have my questions answered.

Anyone else have micro-tiny front windshield pits? Not the kind when a rock takes a chunk out, but about as big as a pencil point. I finally immaculately cleaned my inside and outside windshield this weekend...maybe as clean as it's been in about a year...and in the sun, today, I noticed all these tiny spots. I thought maybe it was lint that stuck to my windshield. I just checked really closely and they're actually tiny pits. Now, there's always stuff flying around LA freeways, and I generally drive 75-90 on the freeway, but, really, should I have like 30-40 tiny marks? They're spread fairly evenly.

Any way to easily fill these in so they're not seen?

I'm curious about this too... you'd think it could be filled in with an epoxy, then polished.

Never seen a repair of this type damage.
Most cars have this after about 15 or 20k miles, headlamps, grill, mlds, just life on the road.
Wait for the big rock chip or crack to replace, save you and your insurance a few bucks.
