They seem to have taken too many essentially identical photos.... I want to see a better close of the back of the controller, and also... does the machine not stand upright? There seem to be two nipples on the side with the air holes, my guess is they are there to hold it in place in a stand.

They are probably to prevent the vents from being blocked by a neighboring book or something... I don't think the console stands up.

OT: I'm somewhat disappointed at the lack of any high-speed expansion slots for future proofing (unless one of those is a USB 3.0 port).

No, watching the video I am almost certain that the little nubs are meant to fit into some form of stand... if the stand has the female counterpart (that the nubs fit into) they will make sure the machine doesn't slip sideways in it.

Thanks TomaTito btw for the video and the picture.
