Why is airflow always measured?

Incidentally, It's not clear what that "150 Watts of suction power"

It refers to the Suction Work Rate according to the Japanese standard.

This is nice to see, but it's not relative cleaning performance data.

That is the most uninformed statement imaginable. Without suction and airflow you don't have cleaning power. Pretty basic stuff.

Watts can technically be measured anywhere in the system"

But again the Japanese standard measures Suction Work Rate at the attachment end. The Japanese standard is very detailed and specific that way and why comparisons of vacuums rated by the Japanese standard are objective.

I'm not convinced from their advertising, but it is believable. Also doesn't translate into cleaning performance on carpets.

What you said is true, but cleaning performance needs to be measured directly since, as discussed in the previous response, there are other factors associated with the cleaner head. Direct measurements are needed, not values from indirect variables. The science of this is well known and discussed in the lecture you write off as complicated. Well the real world is and if you want to understand it, an investment in education is needed. I've kindly made it available for those who want to learn, and it's accessible to the age of about 16.

Again true. No argument from me. However, their standard measures for effectively one particular use case that isn't universally applicable to all situations (unlike the ISO). And it's only relevant for above floor cleaning. You claim it's for a tool sealed to a surface (which makes sense), but this is different to tool extracting from a deep crevice. Air watts are fixated on too much and not many seem to understand their value. Their real value for floor cleaning is outlined in the lecture associated with various low resistance flooring that allow high air currents, and more air watts sustains suction and air speed. All well understood and has been for a few hundred years.
