Has anyone else noticed that on a legal pitch there are 8 obstructions?

The line marking out the perimeter of the pitch is part of the playing area yet the four corner posts are on the line as are the four goal posts. Yes, I know it has been like that since goal posts took precedent over two coats but that doesn’t make it right, does it?

How many goals have been scored when the ball hits the post and bounces in, when if the posts had been those few inches back the ball would not have bounced into the goals.

Also is the line marking out the penalty area part of the area?
