I mistakenly purchased a Pencil usb-c. I have a iPad 8th gen. Will they work together? I know I cannot charge the pen with this iPad and that’s ok. I just want it to work as a pencil

will the Apple Pencil usb-c work with my iPad 8th gen? I know the Apple website says no but not why. Is it just because of the charge ports are different or is there another comparability issue?

iPad, iPadOS 16
