that was likely the entire point, to stop people from leaving it plugged in all the time.

And kill the battery, since it doesn’t like 100% 24/7

And yet this is what happens with the wireless keyboard. Doesn’t seem to have crippled Apple the way leaving the mouse plugged in supposedly would. It’s smart to allow users to choose how best to use their own property.

I leave my wireless keyboard plugged into the studio display so that when I switch machines, the keyboard still works for and switches instantaneously.

I wish they would finally make the switching easier. Logitech and others have long added simple switches. Apple could have a different "magic" mechanism, whatever, as long as I don't have to constantly replug cables.

they may have decided it's not as important for a keyboard because you're not constantly moving it around your workspace like a mouse.

I have to ask, how far away do you like to be from your computer because I've never seen the advantage of a wireless keyboard and mouse. They just sit in front of the screen all the time, It's not like I'm going to take them to the coffee shop or something.

what you or I do is not really relevant, clearly lots of people do see the value in wireless devices. and lots of people do take wireless mice along with their laptops on the go.
