It looks like they did account for this. The W / TB value is a little hard to parse, but what they really meant was: "Power efficiency, measured as the average power consumed in watts to write or read 1 TB of data."

That's only the power consumed by the drive itself, not the entire system:

total power consumed by a drive

IANAL but I don't think that would count as self-incrimination. They're not being ordered to admit they did it, just that they control a particular account, just as someone who matches a description in the area of a crime might be detained and ordered to produce identification but cannot be forced to admit they committed the crime.

unless it's a 3.5 speaker port and then it's a fucking outrage

Probably because a mobile device meant to be carried in your pocket with only one port is quite a different thing to a desktop computer meant to be used in one location with multiple ports. You're definitely going to have to pay for more than a simple DAC dongle if you want to be able to charge your device and use headphones at the same time, and you'll have to be willing to carry around something bulkier.

Apple devices tend to retain their value very well. It's even a selling point to some buyers that while they may pay more for a Mac or iPhone upfront they're likely to be able to get quite a bit of that back by selling used or trading in.

The Vision Pro looks to be an exception to this, perhaps because the price was way too high to begin with, or perhaps because demand is simply low for such a device.
