Usually the canopy can be blown off the airplane.

Yes it can, but that is an extreme measure, reserved for true emergencies. When you blow the canopy, there's the potential for even more damage if the canopy hits the aircraft on the way down.

Same goes for ejection. When those rockets fire under the seat, they do tremendous damage to the inside of the cockpit.
