You've argued that the tech is "fine," which means it's commoditized.

Commoditized parts don't get mentioned in reviews. (I don't know what USB driver is in my laptop because who cares? It's a commodity)

What is left, then, other than device ergonomics, appearance, and other things that differentiate devices?

This is like arguing that brand x's USB cables are softer and prettier than brand y's. Its still a commodity.
