It's an easier click target when it's in the corner. Moving cursor from the middle to the corner is negligible for me since I can reach the whole screen with relatively minor mouse movement.

In the end it's a muscle memory thing for me. Having the button in the middle just means I have to look for it in a different location than I've used to over the years.

Yeah that's why I said corner is superior if you open it with a mouse, and centre is superior for if you do it with your keyboard.

I wouldn't consider it superior, just different, in case of a keyboard shortcut.
