Butt-wise, perhaps, but if you have a head it looks like some inconvenience
(the small version of the first image looks too small so I use them full size):
.
So that's the point indeed: with a 3-door you don't have to mind/touch the B-pillar, the seat is just easier to approach.
And then, yes, you still have to sneak in/out if the seat is close to the dashboard/steering and this is height/reach rather than door size dependent.
Having the B-pillar as a restriction does appear to mean the door is just too small. This should be especially annoying when you are wide rather than (only) tall. I recall someone complained here of having no 3-door option (a case on many markets) and the rear doors looking wider than the front (is this really the case, feel free to click the image to open it large
):
