Welded skid plate??

Hi guys, a month or so ago, I bought a used 2015 rzr 570. Kid I got it from used it pretty well in the 3 months he owned it. So the other day I was underneath it just snooping around, and I noticed that the "skid plate" was welded in. Is this factory? I messaged the kid and asked him About it and he said it was. But from what I’m seeing in YouTube videos of aftermarket skit plate installs, it should be removable. Hoping someone can tell me what’s going on. Gunna end up making some skid plates here shortly if I acquire some scrap metal, just worries me that the one on it isn’t removable.
