Thank you for explaining the issue. I guess there are Apple fans (including the author of the article) who can't conceive of a world where there are people who have never used an Apple mouse.
Most people who use an Apple mouse don't really find it to be "an issue". If by chance you ignore the days or weeks of reminders about charging, plugging in for 1-2 minutes will give you charge to last an entire day.
The people who complain about it are almost exclusively people who don't actually use it, but love to complain about it.
When the mouse bricked itself, I was forced to switch to the trackpad. Maybe I could plug the mouse in, if I happened to bring my only cable from home (or maybe from the office) that day. But there was no way of knowing when the mouse was usable again short of interrupting myself to test it. Over time, I decided the mouse wasn't worth the mental overhead and switched full-time to the trackpad, which always works.
Plugging in a laptop is a nuisance, but at least I can do that every time I sit down to start working and it will manage itself all day.
