>Or just that he prefers the one he is using instead for whatever reason.

Well, that means he finds the Apple one worse "for whatever reason".

He doesn't need to find it objectively bad (though one could, as well) for this to be a concern.

It's enough of an issue that he doesn't have enough fondness, faith, and pride in it to use it, or enough resolve to get his company to improve it.

Worse, yes. But the title reads "so bad". I don't know if it's "so bad" and shit like that. I use a Logitech G502 wireless personally because I like the way it fits my hand. I've owned all sorts of others like the Madcatz RAT that I've liked or simpler ones that I haven't. That doesn't mean I think the MX Master is "so bad" I'd rather use the G502. Bunch of people all losing their minds over simple shit haha. Oh no, his Apple T-shirt is so bad he's wearing a Zegna shirt! It's a Sunday, my dudes.

Apple makes and sells mice as part of their business, my dude. Any t-shirts they make is just a secondary thing for the merchandise store.

Making their software and hardware good enough for them to use and "eating their own dog food" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food ) is important.

This is cargo cult business from people who learn all they do about tech from startup bloggers.

You might have learned it from startup bloggers.

Dogfooding has a big history in Sillicon Valley and kinds of software development culture way before blogging was a thing. Before the web was a thing too. It was a thing people explicitly referred to before it even had that name.

So there's that.
