Maybe they figure people will use it docked? And phones have ports on the bottom, they're not so bad to use while charging.

I use it handheld primarily. The difference in my phone is weight. With the port on the bottom, handheld charging becomes almost impossible without constantly putting pressure on the cable and port.

90 degree angled USB cables are a godsend for this.
