I suspect the reason is that with a Mac SE or SE/30 the power switch is
attached to the monitor, which is pretty much guaranteed to be within arm's
reach.  The Mac II's CPU can be hidden under a table, which forced Apple to put
the power switch somewhere more accessible.  Apple probably saves a few dollars
on each SE and SE/30 by using the simpler power switch.
