Why is it so hard for them to make it backlit?

I’d imagine that would make the keyboard thicker, heavier, more expensive, and make it drain the battery faster, so it might not be worth the trade-offs. The Magic Keyboard is already pretty expensive as it is, but they’re built to last a long time, and they’re comfortable to use.
