People treat it like a mistake but not be able to use the mouse while it’s plugged in is the entire point of the design. Right or wrong the Apple designers thought a cord drag was a bad experience and designed to prevent it.

I am using B2 now - I started using it before they added the encrypted buckets and am using restic to encrypt everything. It's nice because I don't really have to trust Blackblaze at this point aside from them not losing my data.
I've since additionally turned on encryption on my buckets, but as far as I know they store the key for you, so in terms of privacy it's not the best.
