You can turn the device. And how often do you want to actually want to turn the device off from the box itself?

Right, try turning it with a dozen cables plugged into it. I'm sure we all allow enough slack in our cables to easily spin our machines around 180 degrees.

Or try reaching around something... ...only 6.6" deep.

How often would I actually want to turn the device off from the box itself? Well, when it locks up and won't restart, mostly.

So hardly ever then.
