Apple needs to simply put all their products and features through "what would Steve Jobs have done" filter. He would have probably thrown the butterfly design out the window and ask them to come up with a better design.
You're certainly not wrong, but the hockey puck was fairly quickly discontinued and replaced (within a year or two) by the "Apple Pro Mouse", which itself wasn't discontinued for 4 or 5 years.
Would that be the same filter he used back in 2010 when he responded to complaints about the iPhone 4 reception issue by stating "don't hold it that way" ;)
