Well, I would say because most of the force of the door opening goes right there when the door is opened too far at some point. There is not enough strength the the braket behind it imho.

Areas like that usually have orange peel in acryllic coz they're too hard to rub back properly. That looks like 2 pak orange peel to me - off the gun.
And yes, the hinge flexes at that point because the strengthening rib behind is inadequate when the door flies open on windy days. They also get a bit cruddy up there as the dirt and muck builds up, so the metal is probably softer there than on most places.
