I'm one that does. I've got two MMs because I have a desktop iMac (27" 2019) and a laptop for travel and I have a MM for the laptop so that I can scroll using it in my hand while in a hotel room or when doing presentations.

So when I get the "low battery warning" on the desktop MM, I put it on charge and use the other one for an hour while it recharges.

One people on the planet do this.

I'd bought the laptop first, got the MM because it's small and good for travel and using the top as a trackpad/scroller.

Then I bought an iMac and the 2nd MM came with it.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not that unusual.

> I'd sooner believe it's because they want you to buy 2 of them, so you can charge one while using the other.

We're discussing in this context. I still stand by the claim that there are probably around zero people on the planet that bought a second MM specifically to use it while the other one is charging.

I'm not doubting that there exists a group of people that happen to have acquired two MMs, however that came to be.
