I’ve always thought that was a nice subtle visual reinforcement of the problems in Cardassian culture.
It’s such a basic courtesy to flatten or ramp areas like that.
And violating it is such asshole design. It fits the Cardassian vibe.
Plus, you know some Cardassian engineer got promoted for the money savings of having one-size-fits-nothing hull sections.
I recall moments in the first episode where Federation officers have to consciously remember to step over. It’s such a nice touch, and fits the vibe of the episode.
I might be giving too much credit, but the set and props designers in Trek do have a history of doing cool stuff like this that goes largely unnoticed.
