A flange is blunt. It's the same concept as the narrowed point of contact of a warhammer.
The maul's protrusions are not the primary purpose of the maul.
That the mere potential for non-blunt attacks renders a weapon non-blunt would also render swords and spears not-sharp by the reversal of that principle.
Counter point you're splitting hair's you couldn't do that with a bunt weapon Check Mate.
