--- Comment #5 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
apple hasn't made touchpads with a single button since at least 2009 which is
roughly 7 years ago now. there may still be laptops from 2007 floating around,
but tbh it's not where our priority goes. remember that any specific hardware
feature requires a bunch of testing and maintenance well beyond the initial
patch to enable the feature.

I'm not aware of any other touchpad with a single button only, all others have
two buttons. in which case you have access to left and right immediately, and
middle by clicking both buttons. clicking real buttons is superior to
clickfinger as they provide immediate haptic feedback, so there is no need to
have clickfinger in addition to the button + middle button emulation.
