I don't think the Apple Mouse is intended to compete with any power-user mouse like The Logitech MX 3 or any gaming mouse from Razer, Logitech, whoever.
It's meant to compete with the junky little thing you get with your PC that's wired, with who-knows-what DPI and 3 buttons at best. It's meant to be something that slips into your laptop bag and doesn't add *any* more bulk than the laptop itself.
So, editorialized, "of course" he's not going to be using an entry level mouse for power user usage.
That doesn't change the reality of how good or bad Apple's mouse is because it's not being sold to a power user. From what I've seen, power users tend to use that magic track pad thing, if they're Apple power users using Apple things.

What are your experiences here?
Mine is that generic ultra-cheap wired optical mice have been Totally Fine™ now for roughly 20 years! It's a completely solved problem.
They track fine, they have more than enough DPI for anybody except maybe hardcore twitch action gamers, and they all have vaguely ergonomic sculpted shapes.
Apple's mice lose out for me before I move the pointer because the first thing I notice is that the shape of the mouse itself has more or less no correlation with the shape of a human hand. It always feels like you're grasping some weird foreign object.
They're Apple doing Apple things. While many of their products are reasonably priced when compared against the alternative, they're also very famous for having outlandish prices if you, for example, increase drive storage.

Of all the strange things Apple decides to compete in, why would Apple be trying to compete with logitech at twice the price? Honestly don't know why Apple bothers with peripherals though, its not like their keyboards are worth writing home about either.
