I looked at a Gravity with the Mojave interior a couple of weeks ago, and can confirm that the door card is covered with the same "burlap" fabric as our Air Pure has.
With regard to your remark that you "just don't get why they use it anywhere someone could touch," have you ever actually driven a Lucid with that material covering the door card? As I said, our Air has it; it has never been uncomfortable at all for my forearm---nor has anyone else in my family ever complained about it.
(The only reason I switched from Yosemite to Tahoe for our Gravity order was that I was worried that my children would get the light-colored fabric dirty and I wouldn't be able to clean it.)
