"Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards" - true, descriptive.
"for the first time since 1994" - provides context to the weight of the decision of adding a new key, absolutely fine.
The headline is not wrong, this is the first key added that will be required as part of the standard keyboard layout since 1994. No shaming needed.
It's not mandatory, and there is a chance it never will be. Just like the office key.
I don't recall seeing similar statements from Microsoft about the office/emoji/etc. keys being expected to be mandatory. Was there statements along those lines?
Is it? I thought they are just remapping the right menu key and putting a new logo on it.
