I wouldnt say it is a flaw. It can be a bad thing, but not a flaw. MS
software out of the box has been historically "access unless denied"
where as the other big players are "denied until granted access".
It is that way no matter the file system, it just the way MS has it
setup out of the box. For people from the Novell or *nix world, this is
something they have a hard time remembering.
I wish MS would use the "denied until granted access" mindset, but that
will probably never happen. At least not in the short term.

If you came from a different background, that _would_ be a flaw
in the
promiscuous-by-default design of the NTFS file system.
