It is a design piece. No wires besides the single power chord. Yet webcam and speakers working.

This. I worked as a network/computer guy for the architecture department at our university. They all had iMacs, which for me was quite a win because replacing/carrying them was super easy: disconnect power chord, carry to my desk - done. Fix or install whatever needs fixing, and simple carry back.

Mea culpa. Needless to say english is not my first language.

A "power chord" is a thing, btw, but it's something you play on guitar

My wife made me essentially give away my budget-friendly gaming PC and get an iMac when she moved in with me after grad school.

Did you make her replace all her shoes with your preferred brand (Crocs)? That would be a fair exchange then.

Yeah this thing is built for desk reception

It's also built for people who need a reasonable desktop computer but don't want their living room to look like a 14 year old's bedroom, or a corporate office space.
I'm not one of them, but I think many of us have had to convince partners that the big clunky monstrosity of a setup is actually cool...

They even put the (optional, by default it's wireless only) 2.5G Ethernet socket in the external power brick. This pattern seems to have been introduced with the M1 iMac. The 2.5G upgrade is new.
Regular people want their homes to look nice. It's really important to them. We may think it's weird and stupid, but that's who they are, and it decides what computers they buy.
