No it's not a design element. It's to keep all the hair, dirt and dust out of the screen edges. the K3 has issues with the glue of the screen coming undone because of dust, dirt and hair can get into that area. It's impossible to clean.

The black strip on the K4 fixes that problem. Not to mention it is needed for perception in contrast with a grey bezel.
