Default 2011 SuperCab rusting at rear door latches

I'm very confused what is causing this issue.
Both driver and passenger side the door sills at the rear door latch are rusting.
Rusting from the inside out.
This is the only rust on my whole truck I don't know why this is happening.

Anyone else have this issue? It's a closed box I don't see how water could get inside there to be causing this.

Mine did that on the drivers side. Came up from inside the rocker panel.

Driver's side is worse than passenger.
It's like the rocker panel is rusting inside out i don't see how this can happen. I thought I was doing everything right but I can't clean what I can't reach.
My ranger over ten years not a spot of rust on body and f150 is already rusting up at 7 years.

That's exactly what's happening. That's what mine did. The rockers have that tape on the underside. If it falls off all that **** gets up there and sits

Water comes in from the 3rd brake light I believe. Sh!tty engineering at best.
