Is that why there's a screw-mount type fixture on the back of the 9W power adapter (H0165)?

I can't gauge the size but it's way too small for a camera tripod mount.

There was never any logic to the idea other than they liked 1/4-20 inserts. They did the same thing on a tablet newton (Bic) that was never taken to production.
