But why? Same question for the Magic Mouse?

It’s a subtle hint that you don’t have to power off your computer between uses. Most modern computers go into an ultra low power mode when not in use.

or maybe so the mac can be used as a home hub?

Sure. But even without it you don’t need to turn it off

Functionally it’s harder to accidentally press on the bottom.

Although it’s also now harder to intentionally press too. It looks like a finger can fit under there, otherwise you’ll be flipping it over to power on.
