The design hasn’t changed since it was AA batteries; it was not designed with the rechargeable battery pack in mind.
The worst you can say really is that it was a lazy upgrade, which is totally valid.
My guess is they didn’t want to redesign the top surface for aesthetics or charitably, perhaps technical reasons to do with the combo touch / click area at the front, and the front is the only place you’d want a port.
Could also be the sensor, smack bang in between the batteries and where you’d want the port… they should’ve just redesigned it, but they probably thought everybody should go trackpad so why bother
