It's not very customisable, but it's better than nothing, kinda.

Saves having to constantly press the power button. The article says that the new screen off button saves reaching for the power button for people with small hands. The power button is at the midpoint of the chassis lol.
Yeah, adding a screen off button doesn't seem important on the M9 - maybe when Sense 7 hits the M8 it will be more useful.
But there's your answer. Quite a lot of people didn't like it there, and said so. If you are refining the design, you deal with the complaints, and if that means moving something that you moved last year, you do it.I don't understand it even one little bit. The power button was perfect on the Harman Kardon M8 in my opinion. Good placement with great tactile feel. I get that some people don't like it there but why oh why HTC must you continue the power button "musical chairs"!
