This is ridiclous
Unfortunately "punish them by not buying it" won't work for someone as big as them.

It looks like you can push the button without lifting the tiny computer.
I also at first thought it's not that bad, because it looks like the main part of the computer is "hovering", because it stands on that round portion. But then I saw that the button is on the backside! Why? That way you have to reach around everything, making it impossible to fit the thing into some smaller space and still use it. If it was on the bottom but in the front you would still have your beloved button-less design but the button would still be pretty accessible.

Well at least now you can actually see the damn black ports on the silver chassis. The M2 Mac Mini has the black ports on the black backside and it's such a pain in the ass trying to find the USB C ports when I have to connect something.
But yeah, putting the power button on the bottom is peak Apple stupidity.
I really hope this is one of those tactile hit it from the top and it'll trigger from the bottom designs. But more likely they just never expect you to use it.
On the bottom, in the back...
