https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Release/Packaging says,
A box with a lid or an opening that contains the medium and other packaging, like posters and booklet containing lyrics.
This was added without any discussion by https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/index.php?title=Release%2FPackaging&type=revision&diff=73414&oldid=73163
The request for "box" in STYLE-821 very clearly shows two products with lids. Allowing boxes to have "an opening" without a lid encroaches on what a slipcase would be, which people have traditionally viewed as different from a box, and which record companies today market differently from boxes:

I would say box should be redefined to just be,
A box with a lid that contains the medium and any other items.
I'd also suggest getting a better image, as the current one is extremely low resolution and it's not clear it has a lid and isn't a slipcase.
