“ AirTag isn't precise enough to let me know with pinpoint accuracy ”

My Airtags are accurate to within inches… and the find me App clearly guide me to their exact location within an inch or so! 

You left out an important part of the sentence: "AirTag isn't precise enough to let me know with pinpoint accuracy where my bag was on the carousel itself."

It's not really designed to "live track" an object that is on a moving platform. However, as @rossggg noted in their comment, you can know your bag is nearby and presumably somewhere on the carousel because your iPhone has directly connected to the AirTag.

Was a typical knee-jerk reaction from over-entitled people who can’t wait to check if the issue is actually something to worry about. 

It was Apple itself that told us that the year-old keyboard would not work with the new 12.9” iPad Pro. Not a “knee-jerk reaction” or “temper tantrum” at all — we were merely responding to what the company said. If Apple had said this up front instead — that the old keyboard will functionally work but may not close perfectly — we and many others would not have made a peep.

I wish Apple would clarify WHY they deem the 2020 MK incompatible.  I've added sheets of paper to my iPad Pro 12.9 to add 0.5 to 1.0mm of thickness and it still closes fully and there is not issue I could see.

I’m guessing it has to do with the balanced cantilever design. The Smart Keyboard (which doesn’t “float” the iPad) works fine even with the 0.5mm difference, according to Apple.

Just sell the keyboard along with your old iPad Pro. 

As someone who has gone through the hassle of selling on Craigslist, Facebook, etc. many times (and was once victim of a Venmo scam, see link below), I can tell you that the market for resale accessories is not very good. People will happily pay for the hardware, but they don’t care about the accoutrements. You’ll get hosed selling on your own.

Exactly

Or more likely, Apple knows that no one who bought the last generation iPad Pro is going to be looking to buy another one just yet. 

And what about those who bought the 2018 iPad Pro?
