Secondly, Apple wants all developers to follow their interface The average person a right mouse button is like giving a bald man a May not be the typical computer user, Apple is always concerned withĬreating a user experience that is as intuitive as possible. After they first do it, they will ASK YOUĮVERY TIME if they should right click or left click. I kid you not, ten times a day I would talk to someone who has never Having once worked doing technical support, let meĮxplain one very common point of frustration for techs. The first reason deals with the technical ability of the averageĬomputer user. The general consensus was that the reasoning behind the primary design decision was to remove the confusion among the average computer user for remembering which button to click and therefore increasing the intuitive usage of the Apple user interface. Now coming to the reason why Apple might have gone that route, there was a discussion in the slashdot forums why apple prefers to have a one button mouse.

It's because Apple explicitly mentions in its Human Interface Guidelines that all software providers should provide all functions available with a single click and they don't see any use case for providing a right click.
