Was the hole originally intended for a flap, or did company's come up with a flap that just makes use of the hole?

It's just the nature of forums to "regurgitate" the basics.

One of the chat boards I belong to has a Seniors Forum for those who don't want to ever deal with newbies, or discuss the same things over and over.
