Don’t Forget the Basement Window

During my tour around the neighbourhood, I discovered that basement windows are, more or less, neglected, passed by, soiled, overgrown with weeds and plants, behind bars, overshadowed by objects in front, under ground level, and so on. In some incidences, the window almost completely looses its traditional function. E.g. light.
Why don’t basement windows get as much attention as every other window in the building? Is this just a special way of giving a special window attention on its own special way?
Maybe this special treatment, or lack of the same, is a way of letting the surroundings and context have its own distinctive influence on the window - using the window as an opening to embrace the building.
