KODIAK CANVAS 10x10 TENT Heavy Rainstorm Performance & ONE Design Flaw!

Kodiak Canvas 10x10 Tent, reviewed after overnight, torrential rain downpour with duration of over 9 hours. Heavy rainstorm performance was great. However, I reveal ONE DESIGN FLAW!
/ @mavhntr
After 6 years of heavy use, this canvas tent seeing an average of 60+ days afield, keeps going strong for my use afield for all 4 seasons of the year.
Later that day, the heavy rainstorm continued for an additional 10 hours throughout that afternoon and evening.

ABOUT: Bothersome to spend this amount of money and have to fix a flaw in design afterthought.
The Kodiak Tent company knows that to use the vestibule on the 10x10 model, the front awning needs to have additional grommets installed. They let you, the consumer, know that it needs to be done and suggest how to do it.
THE MAIN POINT: Why doesn't the company just have the grommets already installed on the 10x10 main tent front awning to accommodate using the optional front vestibule in the first place?!?
UPDATE 02/01/2024:
The original factory awning, corner grommets are heavily reinforced with backing material. Adding 2 new grommets for using the optional front vestibule, the material is only double over in the area the company suggests installing the 2 grommets. After couple months of use, the awning material was tearing away from my installed grommets. I had to take the tent to a local sail shop. They removed my grommets, added 2 layers of reinforcing material and reinstalled new grommets. Even used the same grommet tool that I did. Great quality of workmanship by the sail shop....at an additional cost of $200 out of my pocket.

ABOUT: The Kodiak Canvas tent has been very good, even great, for my use in the great outdoors during this time. Easy, fast set up, the hardest & longest part of set up is putting all the stakes into the ground.
