there have been multibutton mice for a looooooong time. More than 10 years. BUT before there was either Serial/PS2 (for PC) or ADB (for Mac). Now we all happily have USB and can use any mouse or controller.

True to a certain extent, but the 'lovely' mono-button mouse puck solution on the original iMac (also USB) was a disaster to put it mildly. Heck... look at the Apple site right now:
"Compatible with all USB-enabled Apple computers"
This ONE BUTTON mouse costs $60 (!!!) <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

That was the most stupid thing I've heard all day.
It's the exact same thing!
Option-click is bound to the middle-button on my mouse, so middle-clicking the minimize-button will minimize all. Middle-button dragging a file will copy it instead of moving it. Middle-button clicking another app will hide the current.
This is all currently available in MacOS, I just chose to customize my settings so that the feature would be more easily accessible. Of course I had to do this through a third-party app, since Apple don't want to support features for power users to customize their comps.
Of course, this is a whole other debate.
You still haven't given any arguments on the topic at hand, which was why right-click and drag would be a bad thing...
