The reason is that two U2's are not a lot of power.  You could mine for quite a while before you meet minimum requirement to withdraw btc you mine.

I would do math on GPU.  For most anyone it costs more to run a GPU then it makes.

U2s are not worth the money. They are expensive, consume a lot of power and they don't provide a lot of hashrate.
Assuming your electricity is free and you want to make 0.01BTC/day, then you would need 500 U2s at current difficulty. This is just a rough example.

It would take quite a few.  Just compare to like a 1T machine and it is not a lot of hash.    It's more of a lotto/learning device.  Unless you happen to be running a ton of them.

It depends on what you mean by low power.  By very small power you have current gen with U3 it is a good low power device.  Most likely best low power device as of now.

If you go up you can go S5, SP20, Avalon 4.1.  But all of those will take quite a bit more power.
