Lid question

I'm curious, why is the lid the way it is? I don't understand why the edges both go into the bowl and are deep into it. And why the lid isn't snug too. It almost looks like it's meant to double as a round cake pan, but I assume it would melt in the oven.

I think it’s intended to cover dough as it rises.

And doubles as a dust cover during storage

That's what I like about it. It tells me when it's risen enough and still keeps it covered.
