Am I missing something?

The way I think of it is that the silicone seal *will* definitely fail at
some time.

Never has with me

Hasnt with me either.

It might take a year, or it might take ten. But when it fails, water
*will* end up in the frame and/or around the screen.

After nearly 20 years

After 45 years in my case. I did use the high end branded stuff tho.

So, given that water *will* be there, it's better that it can freely
drain out into the shower tray, rather than onto the floor outside of the
tray.

So seal the outside.

Classic example of good logic from a bad assumption

No assumption so much.
