Its technically powered from the panel but not by the panel, you can figure
it out I'm sure

Again what difference does it make? An Uplink will use too much power, the
older 7845C would unless you programmed it for current limiter mode which
I'm guessing few ever did, even Star Link can use up to 2 amps in bursts,
not good considering a P9600 only does 750ma

It would be stupid to have any of these powered by the panel unless you had
an additional power supply anyway

I should think it having its own battery would have advantages, particularly
when the thing is trying to transmit while the panel is having an AC
failure, if you've seen low battery signals from an Uplink you'd understand,
see Uplink's don't have backup batteries and thats it's way of saying it's
not getting enough power from the panel
