It does matter to me and I live in an area with frequent power outages. Unfortunately I didn’t check this out before purchasing so I’m pretty annoyed by this behavior.
Yeah, sucks. :-/
For anyone else in the same boat, let me go see what that enclosure is with a physical power button that I wound up ultimately getting.

Probably others one can find
just an 8-bay JBOD enclosure with a variable speed fan and physical power switch.
But unlike the non-powering-on-after-power-loss enclosures, I haven't had problems with it.
I have a ton of USB devices, and drive enclosures
the one thing that I really do not want to stay offline
are the only thing I've ever seen that doesn't power up again on power loss. Maybe there are some USB displays that might also do so, but I don't care about that if I'm not physically present.
For that price I might as well get a used desktop or another mini PC.
