So they wouldn’t put the power button on the back of the latest Mini, but they did on the Studio? That’s frustrating (yes, minor nit).

This was always part of the original design of the Mac Studio so they have never changed the design. This is a spec bump.
I have an old style M1 Mac Mini on my desk and I could probably count on one hand the number of times I had to hit the power button, and Apple knows this, so they decided it wasn’t worth the machining cost to drill a hole in the back of the top shell and engineer a power button to the tolerances you’d expect.

Imagine, my Apple TV doesn’t even have a power button! My MacBook tells at me if I accidentally press it when doing a TouchID!

I have to hit that power button multiple times a day, because the Mac mini just won't wake up from the USB keyboard/mouse...

Worst of all, it always worked fine on my previous Hackintosh!

Power buttons are for power users. lol
