You’re supposed to stop using the mouse while it is charging, and use the mouse unplugged.

Why? Says who? There's been a few times where I've booted my work laptop up in the morning and my mouse is dead and I've had to plug it in. Once it's charged I unplug it. What's the harm in that? I'd be way more furstrated if I had to open up my laptop (I keep it closed with an external monitor) and use the trackpad instead.

Says the designer or design team, backed by whoever is over them who approved the decision.

As for why? For design reasons. To make it prettier so it sells more units. To fit in with the brand's minimalist theme they've got going on.
