I would call it broken by design. Or at least a design that is clearly

A design where you have to learn a special technique to avoid doing
something that you can do on every other mouse is not a great design.

Disagree - for many people it's not a special technique, just business
as usual. I present me, my ladyfriend, my mum, and my brother in law
as evidence.

I am afraid that even with the 4 of you, I can't accept that as evidence
of many people.

One, two, many! Can't you count?

Anyway, you're extrapolating from one or two, so I don't see why I
can't. Really, we have *no* idea - except I don't see a lot of
complaints about not being able to right-click with the Magic Mouse or
the Mighty Mouse.
