Not sure if tint has anything to do, as every window can be scratched. On previous car I accidentally scratched windscreen with sand grain stuck under wiper. I have never heard or seen tint film on the outside of the widow. As far as I know factory tinted windows have coloured glass, not a layer of tint on any of the sides (unless done by dealership, but then it is not factory).
Using rubber for scraping is not the best idea. Window is never clean, there is always some dirt on in under ice and rubber catches small grit and sand bits and scratches the glass. In Scandinavia most popular ice scrapers have copper edge. I'm using one of them for years, haven't caused any scratch up to now.
That has nothing to do with the side tint has been fitted ;)
