Thank you for giving the explanation, but I think you're getting flamed for it because it sounds like you're saying that decision makes sense.
They introduced the design constraint. They can remove it, or work around it mechanically. They chose not to, and instead made a death-trap on purpose. I'm sure they had their reasons at the time, but they are by definition bad reasons if they led to this outcome.
He's getting flamed because convertibles have been doing frameless door windows forever with manual overrides. It's not something super special Tesla has done. Musk just doesn't want to spend the extra money doing it right.
I don't think it's a death-trap "on purpose," but it's def a death-trap by negligence. Which is still bad. Very very bad.
