No it didn't come like that from Honda. The reason it has been done is there was probably too much play between the gear and the basket. Under that steel plate are 6 damper rubbers, can only be got at by grinding the rivets off. They are not available as parts.
Best to get another clutch basket, one with minimal play between the gear and basket.
I am developing a kit with new rubbers to be able to restore this problem. but it will be a while before I get round to offering it for sale.
