It's purposeful. It's to force you to buy a new one.
A mouse with a normal charging cable placement can still be used by being plugged in when the battery goes dead.
This mouse, with the charging port on the bottom, becomes unusable once its battery goes dead.
No, it's because Apple hates it's customers and is happy to bilk them.
That said, they do make some very nice things, but participate in so much anti-consumer nonsense (not that that's any different from any other major corporation).
Are there really people who will buy a new mouse rather than charging it? How long does the charging take? Also, at that point, wouldn't they buy from any brand other than Apple?
Not dead as in currently uncharged, dead as in will no longer hold a charge (or holds a shitty charge)
They probably meant this as "buy a second mouse to use when the first is charging" rather than "buy a new mouse every time the current run out".
