The president can definitely fire the attorneys, it’s certainly his pleasure, — but when their terms are up for renewal, NOT in the middle of their terms.
That is the big difference here.

US attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. Period.

No, they are at will employees, who can be fired for any reason, including no reason at all, at any time.
This is purely a matter within the powers of the President and not subject to congressional interference.

As for your assertion above, you're wrong:
TITLE 28 > PART II > CHAPTER 35 > § 541
(c) Each United States attorney is subject to removal by the President.
TITLE 28 > PART II > CHAPTER 35 > § 542
(b) Each assistant United States attorney is subject to removal by the Attorney General.

Wrong. There is no difference. They serve entirely at the pleasure of the President, and he can fire them at any time for any reason or for no reason.
