> Because I see design as a proxy to build quality and ergonomics
It isn't a good proxy. Couple examples: Apple sold laptops with wonky keyboards for years and still sells a mouse that charges from the bottom when the battery dies.

While I also understand that Apple Magic Mouse looks atrocious with that port on the bottom, just charging it for two minutes gives you 8 hours of runtime. Why can’t people plug it in while going to get a coffee and unplug and finish the day with that quick charge? Then you can leave it charging for the night.
If you really want some bad examples, look at some popular cars. Many of them don’t care about your finger, and happily chop it off if you put it the wrong place at the wrong time.
