1. No. This sort of thing is how the "open" cut ended up above the slide stop lever tab in some designs, FWIW. Making the cut open at the top eliminated the potential for a frame crack in some designs/models.

2. More than you'd probably think.

3. They have their own wear & recoil force related issues which may not be visible to the average owner.
