They recommend an amp that does 2W @50Ω because amps are not rated for power in a standard method that accounts for the full frequency range. The headphone still only needs 1.5W max for 115db and that's 750mW per driver.
I dont know what you are on about with balanced = double voltage which means 4x power. Did you read that somewhere and not question it? Balanced does double the voltage, but the current does not change so power is only doubled.
You are applying opinions and feelings to physics.

There's no conventional headphone in the world that takes more than 1.5W to power under 115db You just spouting fud. You may use an amp that has a little headroom for that 1.5w but that's more to the quality of the amp than the power requirement.
Balanced outputs are for speakers, because the power requirements are much higher and the cable runs are/can be longer.

I would love to meet the person who can actually hear the difference between balanced and single ended in a headphone.

The storm was massively exaggerated, there's like no snow.

Why would I want a non-locking connector on the removable cable? that sounds awful. The plugs direct from DCA only cost $7 each...

If the nut was between the points like in the picture there is zero chance the nutcracker would break in the spot that it did. (From a beam bending standpoint)

Almost. You have Saturn and Uranus swapped. Once you do that you need to:
Saturn needs to be flipped 180
Uranus is typically shown ring going vertical, so turned 90 ccw

Ok, that's all well and good... you taught me something.
But there is no single driver in a headphone needing more than 750mW of power so my original point still stands, a headphone does not need or benefit from a balanced output.
