Apple Updates Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad With USB-C Ports

That's not a fix. Many can't use Sequoia on their main machines just yet for technical reasons.

Ok, then I guess you also can't use the newest hardware Apple just released, for technical reasons.

This isn't really shocking IMHO.

All macs that could support the new hardware also support the latest OS. This isn't a conspiracy.

Have Apple fixed the black keys wearing-out on the new keyboard? Looks like this has been going on since they introduced the black-key keybaord. The black keys are white plastic coated with a think layer of black, and wear through to the white underneath with regular use.

We could go back and forth on a circular argument, but your point isn't worth it.

Then why do the product pages for these new devices state they support older macOS and iPadOS versions? Or that they are compatible with the 2018 & 2019 MacBook Air, which doesn't support Sequoia?

Precisely. See screenshot, "macOS 11.4 or later": (other thread)

There does not appear to be any other changes to the Magic accessories beyond the switch to USB-C. Yes, that means the Magic Mouse's charging port remains located on the bottom of the mouse, as confirmed in Apple's video for the new iMac.

Unfortunately that is by design.

Since Magic Mouse's battery is flat based LiPo battery, if it's used while being charged there's chance of overheating. It might be easier to disippate heat on phones, but not on mouse.

Hence the bottom design to prevent user from using while charging.

Other batteries uses cylindrical battery design.

Want to provide some evidence of that?

Still no regular Magic Keyboards in Black 🙁

Kinda ridiculous isn't it?

Here's to dreaming of a bluetooth numbad option and a tenkeyless in black
