Which seam is superior in water resistance? "Plain seam VS Welt seam"

The other day, I performed a seam test for water leakage without seam sealing tape. I confirmed why most outdoor backpacks have been made with plain seam that sews together on the inside.

Welt seam has a firm and solid appearance with its flattened edge due to top stitch.
