Yes, if you open the door and look you see that the door is the outer part of the fender and the fender flare acts to keep junk from going into the door jamb.
I dont necessarily think this is a "flaw" but i can understand how it hurts your feelings. My daughter recently jumped out of the back seat of mine so fast her seat belt didnt retract and she slammed the door closed on the seatbelt buckle while it was in the door jamb. Made an awful sound, crunch/clank/scratch/pop. It bent the inner door jamb, scratched it to hell, and really made me sad. Kinda hard to blame Toyota on it and call it a bad design or a flaw. Sometimes life happens and thats just how it is.
