Has something changed?

Smaller power buttons and often on top rather than in front. Also feel like hard and clicky is more popular than soft and linear now

The real off-button is usually down at the back, on the PSU.

switch, not button

You are technically correct, the best form of correct.

I don't get it why though. The one on mine feels very cheap, specially with it having a fulcrum on one side, making it not go down straight, while using the design language of something that would go down straight.

The crap buttons are cheaper. If your product was optimised for price it will have buttons that cost the least

They're on the top because most users find that more convenient

They're clicky or linear depending on taste

The old ones were heavy, clunky, and certainly expensive

That, on top of the new boxes being more expensive.
They are just increasing their margins as much as possible.

Unfortunately, that was the only model on the market with a good enough airflow, without a glass/acrylic panel.
I really need to DIY some of this.
