Sure but you still need to turn it on though?

This button is primarily for turning the computer on.

I'm trying to say that it's still a useful button to have in an accessible spot because, exactly as you said, it is still used to turn it on.

Not even 0.5% of the time you're interacting with the computer would you even think about the power button. Maybe in the first week because "lawl it's on the bottom, Apple so stoopid." Then you'd just get used to poking under the bottom of the computer and it turns on.

IMO this is infinitely better than on the back like the old Mac mini. My mini is behind my headphone amp, and under a monitor so any time I need to hit the power button it's a LONG awkward reach.

That's assuming there's sufficient space. Even then if you look at the picture, you can see that the power button is on the bottom of the back side of the device. This makes it even harder to reach than if it were simply on the back since you'd need to contort your finger on top of a long awkward reach.
