Yes it does. One designs for things possible and likely, anything can happen but does not mean designers plan for it.
Which vehicle is designed for getting hit by a train from the side? None. It actually seems to happen a bit.
What about a commercial airliner for a missile attack?
And the German pilot who crashed the plane into a mountain on purpose? Can you plan for that? Did the people who thought it smart to make a cockpit door unopenablr from outside think about that? Oh, they should have planned ...
