Here we go again! We neither have evidence that some mysterious side-chainnase has chopped off all flexible surface side chains and in fact, at least I am pretty sure these side chains are still there and moving around in the solvent as indicated by their very/extremely high B-factors, which, again for me, is the better description of the "real" situation.
My 2 cents!
