I think it’s more so that it can seal when you close the door.Frameless doors do this all the time. It's a safety feature so the window doesn't get caught on anything when you open it.

You clearly didn’t read the posts. I myself, the OP, have had and currently have a vehicle with frameless windows. I had heard descriptions of the Bronco’s mechanism, but not seen it, that implied it didn’t work as well as my prior experience. A video in the thread appears to at least partially support the criticism (though this could be due to it being preproduction?)Windows coming down a little is due to the door being frameless. My 4 Series does this and many cars have for well over a decade.
Guys are starting to create hater threads...... Working for the enemy, yeah?
I find it slightly funny you’ve had to explain this multiple times in this thread lol. Might be worth editing your original post as it seems that’s the only post people are readingYou clearly didn’t read the posts.

This. It works fine, but does hang a tad if you're in a hurry. A non-issue IMODrove one this past Thursday. If you are trying to bust out the door fast, you'll feel the resistance as the window hasn't had time to roll down out of the weather stripping yet. If ya take a normal pace getting out, it'll give the window time and ya won't feel a thing.
Don't worry about it being slow to react, it's there for two main reasons: to not pinch the seal when closing and to alleviate air pressure when closing the door. Just about every convertible operates the exact same way, including the Mustang.It also does look like its a little slow to react when opening, window got slightly caught on seal and wobbled
I’ve run into that with my Audi in the past (same style of windows). The doors will still open, however you do risk damaging the weatherstripping I suppose (over time). Or you could remote start the vehicle if it’s that cold.What about in the winter when the windows are completely iced up? Very common up here in the north to be completely unable to open the windows for days or weeks at a time.
