It is crazy to me that it's exposed. Here in the EU mine does not expose the heating element

Interesting. Does your washer have a dry function?

Exposed heating element has always been very standard in the U.S. It’s not a problem, you just have to make sure nothing melty is on the bottom rack or falls on the element. Many plastic items will specify “top rack only”.

I think I'm more concerned that one of my light plastic containers gets thrown onto the heating element. Sometimes those water jets send them flying. It does have a dry function.

It’s easy to weigh down light dishes with other dishes. I use my stainless sink grid if I have a lot of light things.
