I wouldn't call it a 'weak' point so much as a design decision. Look how much room there is between bores - bore wear is going to be an issue unless the rings are made reasonably soft (and the tolerance on the piston skirt is quite high). As such they get a fair bit of blow by (because the piston can't be too tight) and the rings wear down because you don't want to have to re-sleave them after they've done 200,000km. I'll take piston ring wear over excessive bore wear and re-sleaving any day.
