Do you think that this is due to the design of the engine, or that it's due to its age (and/or possible abuse)?

Countless engines and cats have been destroyed like this since the car first came out. The first piece of advice given on a MR2 Spyder forum is "gut the precats" so that when they disintegrate the bores don't get destroyed. This is not just my car, it's a common early 1ZZ problem. Otherwise I wouldn't have said early 1ZZs are notorious for this issue.
