Someone claimed that the slider mute switches on Google Home products are software-driven on HN with zero evidence, so I checked. At least on the Home Mini it's hardware. (Also, if you make hard claims on the internet with zero evidence, you're an asshole).

You can state it is so for the specific device you have examined. Blanket statement that all editions in the series, in the past, present or future are so, would be also not be correct.

Sure, but it's reasonable to assume that the design remains the same for a given edition, unless proven otherwise. My conclusions match PCB photos I've seen on the internet, so there is no evidence of changes. It is not reasonable to just make stuff up without examining anything.
