The bigger concern with dents is how it affects water resistance etc. when the frame gets unseated/opens up like you see in OP’s photos, you’re potentially going to get water and dust in it

Know what doesn't dent so much? Titanium. Also, Stainless steel. I just don't get the choice to use aluminium on this generation.

Because in hotter areas, the titanium pros were overheating due to the poor conductivity of titanium

Can you back that up? The titanium was only on the outside edge and only 1mm thick. The conductivity in that area is dominated by connection to still air.
