I honestly don't think it's as easy as the Covenant just "glassing earth". I believe that there is a Forerunner object ON Earth. Also something to realize is when reading Halo: The Flood; There seems to be a connection between humanity and Forerunner - Master Chief on numerous occasions mentions how the symbols look familiar, but couldn't quite place it. Possibly they are related to ancient history such as the old Greek world, or Stonehenge? It seems that there would be something more to Earth than meets the eye, or even humanity. It could be possible that its just taking much longer to glass Earth, but I doubt it would be that simple.
