He explained that the glass sections could be removed and replaced with new without replacing the whole window mechanism. Does that make sense? They had it done by a local company along with other work before they took possession.

Yep, when we were in our apt, the complex was about 5 years old and had bad windows all over the place. They replaced several in our apt. When we bought our house a year ago, we had 2 windows that had mold inside and then a third with broken glass. We had all 3 replaced for a few hundred bucks.
