I have the same experience as the author. Not having physical buttons at the bottom is a dealbreaker for me. I use the trackpad with the thumb on the buttons and move around with the index finger, and never felt the need for a trackpad larger than the 8cmx4.5cm that I have. I feel bigger trackpads just get in the way more

FWIW with the Apple trackpad, you can still do that? You leave your thumb on the bottom and use your index finger to move and it knows what you are doing. It even simulates the device clicking with haptic feedback so good it is like evil magic... when the device is off I find myself accidentally nearly destroying it trying to click it as my brain is just so thoroughly convinced that it is a physical button but in fact it simply doesn't move.
