This is real. The magic mouse cannot be used while charging, Apple designed it this way because it gives the mouse a sleek appearance and Jony Ive (Apple's former chief design officer) loves form over function. He is responsible for many of the most idiotic design decisions in modern apple history like the butterfly keyboard, touchbar on MacBook Pro, the choice to make the devices so thin that they thermal throttle like crazy, the MacBook with only a single USB-C port and no other ports. I think he is also partly responsible for getting rid of the headphone jack, but I could be wrong. You can actually see once he was no longer at the company, the MacBook Pro series became thicker and had better cooling, as well as a normal keyboard (though they still have other controversial design decisions).

Apple, Think DiFfEreNt...
