No, that's a CYA explanation. A proper fault-tolerant design would prevent a minor process failure like this from having such a cascading impact.
The twitter videos showed the pedal is an A-shaped design, built so the decorative steel veneer slides up and down to attach to the pedal body. The pedal jamming happens when this veneer detaches and slides up, locking the half-attached pedal against the footboard.
Putting aside the whole discussion about cheaping out on pedal materials and going with a pretty veneer, a fault-tolerant design would assume eventually the veneer could come loose, and the attachment path would be built in a way that a pedal jam would be physically impossible.
This is a royal fuckup on prioritizing potemkin styling on the one of the few parts of a car you don't fuck around with.
