If you look carefully, you can see the other side of the car is basically bent well over halfway inwards... I can see where you're going in that the roof gave and took the other side with it, but the lack of any damage to one side and damage to the other shows a clear lack of uniformity, not to mention there's no damage to the door tracks, which tells me the sliding door wasn't removed by force (the plug door could be welded, so I'm leaving it out of the picture))
A stamped roof is going to be stronger than those welded plate sides...
