    I have zero problems with power buttons on the bottom of minis. It’s a total non issue that’s another clickbaity thing for people to bitch about.

    No Mac user I know ever shuts their machine down completely. It’s very quiet so they just go to sleep and wake instantly when the mouse or keyboard are used.

      I own a MacMini M4 and in contrast to your assertion there have been plenty of times I have fully shut down my Mac, or needed to access the bottom button (not just for powering up, but also for needing to access administrative level for certain app or hardware driver installs). I am glad it’s not something you have ever needed, but regardless, it remains an inherently poor design choice.
