Are these door button crack lines normal?

Mine has a crack now between the driver side button and the bottom of the plastic. 2023 only 6 months old, but in Phoenix heat and intense UV.

I put these on my car to protect my door pillars from scratches. They cover almost the whole panel with cut outs for the door buttons and door code entry. They've been on for 2 years and still look great, super easy installation!

My old 2015 Ford Fusion, which had similar piano cover plastic door pillar panels, began to show many small cracks in these panels over the years.

I applied the above film product to my Mach E last year, as I suspected UV to be the culprit on the Fusion. More than one year later, not a crack in sight.
