Correct. The sidewall is made to be very flexible, this keeps the tread flat. When radials were first put on trucks many years ago people would often point to them and tell the owner "your tire is going flat".

Your point about sidewall damage is a real concern. Pretty sure the manufacturers have addressed this with more rubber in the sidewall but if anyone has any first-hand experience, please share.
