I recently picked up the Logitech MX Keys for Mac from Amazon for $80 (new, sold by Amazon) which IS backlit and uses USB C. Granted, no Touch ID - but if you can find the MX Keys on sale, it is quite a bit cheaper (even at this $150 sale price). It definitely seems like a solid alternative (with backlighting!).
Touch ID is incredibly convenient (for login, online passwords, purchases, etc.), and is honestly (for me) worth the increased price by itself. Also, I found the slight alterations in the Logitech layout frustrating. Because the Esc is smaller, the F1-12 keys (which I use for work and some gaming) are offset differently, which confuses my brain and I end up having to look down to make sure I hit the correct key. Also, the modifier keys are changed around on the Logitech, which makes shortcuts require more thinking as opposed to just being muscle memory.
The Apple keyboard is pretty much exactly the same as typing on my MacBook keyboard, from the ways the keys sound, to their depth, and the spacing of the layout itself. I don't ever have to think about which keyboard I'm using. I guess if backlight and USB-C are hard requirements, then this is not the keyboard for you. But I never work in the dark and don't mind having an extra lightning cable that I pull out once a month to charge the keyboard, so it was never a major problem. But the issued I mentioned above definitely were.

The magic is Apple suddenly makes your money disappear from your wallet.
Having Touch ID would be nice, though... But not for an additional $100.

When in the office and using my MX Keys for Mac, I can easily switch it over to my phone to type a very quick text/IM reply (which is much faster than typing directly on the phone's on-screen keyboard).
Macbook and mac mini, usb c,
Iphone usb c,
Airpods 2nd gen usb c
ipad usb c.
It would be nice if everything else is cohesively usb-c, especially for such an expensive ecosystem already.
I clicked the link to find out what, precisely, makes this "Magic," especially in light of the aforementioned MX Keys (my daily driver since it's release and, while a bit of a splurge, an excellent little piece of kit).
And now I have my answer. The "Magic" is of the bullet/Scientology variety. In other words, utter BS.
