Considering that the price of copper is booming, I can see why Sony removed part of the copper plate. Probably only saves them about $1, but with how in demand copper is right now, shortages could be one (of many) reasons why they made this change in design.
That being said. I think Austin is going to get ripped by the PC tech community, for his flawed review of the heat signature from the PS5s. The new model is actually expelling more heat from the chassis, because of the better fan.
