A full charge to 100% takes longer.
Fast charging is more intensive on the battery - you don't want it to be running on fast charge the whole time.
It's for scenarios where you might forget to charge or it's been sitting unused for a while but you still want to get to work quickly. It minimizes failure scenarios.
It's meant to be a wireless mouse. Emphasis on wireless.

These things don't make sense as a whole.
Why put a fast charger in (to get your day's worth of charging) if your use case is "charge it to full, get 2 months", so you "likely charge this thing less than 20 times in its life"?
Most likely, you'll go to one extreme or the other, and I think the "less than 20 in its life" is entirely optimistic, and based on a use case that the design doesn't represent.
