OK to caulk interior framing around garage doors?

Hi, all. I am a new member to this forum and this is my first post. I caulked all the gaps on the interior wood framing of our 2-car garage, as I prefer the more finished look. (FYI, used DAP Alex Ultra acrylic latex sealant plus silicone, 230 Grade for windows, doors, trim, siding, and molding.) Perhaps builders don't normally caulk these areas to save time or not necessary, but is it a problem to do so? For example, can water now get trapped? Does the wood need to expand/contract? On a very windy day, I may hear the garage doors rattling a bit, but there was never a draft at the now-caulked locations.

The outside wall is vinyl siding with proper drainage and drip flashing installed. Did I create a potential problem by caulking these interior gaps? Just looking for some peace of mind. Thanks.
