Yes, you are absolutely correct!!!!

However, there ought to be some metrics on how much power the fronts, surrounds, and rear surrouds take on different types of music at different listening levels.

For example, if the fronts take 1 watt, then I would expect that the surrounds would take 1/4 watt or something like that.

It should not be that difficult for a major company to put scopes or peak reading power meters on all speakers and see what the readings are.
