They probably reused a PCB from another model that used a paperclip hole reset. They duplicated the design, sent it for testing, and came back with "everything is great, but make the reset a push button before you ship it." Engineering probably said "ok. But it will need to go back for usability testing" and sales said "fuck that, send it"

Or another possibility, after proto and lots of testing: "we need to move test button a couple of cm to the right, away from the corner. No further tests needed"
