Well they can advertise how much memory they have...

RAM uses less power than keeping a radio alive, so I suspect aggressive buffering is a net energy saver.

Reminds me of the old portable CD players that would advertise the capacity of their anti-skip buffers.

Sony Bluetooth headphones, now with 10 seconds g-shock protection!

I remember owning one of the first portable CD players that did not have any anti-skip buffer, at all.

It was a very delicate experience.
