Sounds plausible, but as the author noted the OS has the knowledge whether you’re using a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse or not but it doesn’t matter - it shows that dialog even if you have wired peripherals plugged in. It’s dumb.

This is a sign that the company has challenges making 'not dumb' software which was its key differentiator.

> The prompt warns that I "won't be able to use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse," despite the fact my Mac mini already has a USB keyboard and mouse plugged in.

Someone decided this is how this should work, and either no one along the way pointed out that it was stupid, or they did and was ignored. It gets tricky knowing what's right when profits come before users.
