Odd cut to window casement trim

I supose it is considered decorative.

The angle cut on the end exposes the end grain of the board to water encouraging rot.

Architectural feature? :eek:

As Bruce said, it exposes more of the end grain, however, that is rotting out where the vertical jamb trim meets it and not at that exposed end grain.
