Next question --- why is the drain hose, which is permanently
attached to the machine (unless you open it up) made of such flimsy
material?

It has to be flexible. It does not have to be strong because it sees no
internal pressure.


I was thinking about it getting easily "crunched" while you're shoving
the appliance back into the slot.


All the ones Ive come across have more than adequate crush resistance. Id
wager you could stand on it without it crushing. Mind you, someone
somewhere might make a crushable one.
