I’ll wait for the investigation to release its findings. But door plugs are a common feature on most commercial airline body’s.

More than likely this is due to bad manufacturing and QA processes. The 737 is manufactured in a non union shop in the South that is known for poor quality compared to Boeings Seattle facilities.
