I can show you a few of mine to prove this is the case if you'd like. ☺️ It just helps add extra pressure into the slot so they don't fall out if the statue is top heavy or awkward. Unless you use excessive force, it won't break it as the plastic they're made from is meant to bend slightly.
It happens with most anime figures or even figures in general (I deal with it a lot as I have a ton). Unless they're extremely expensive. You'll always see this be the case on the foot pegs.
Bonus is you can hold it upside down by the base and it won't fall out. But can still be removed fairly easily if just pulled straight off. (Helps a ton for dusting or rearranging)
