It is easier to enable something that is missing than to disable some
annoying behaviour whose cause is unknown. For example if you miss
tap-to-click, you know what you need to search for to enable it. If the
touchpad behaves strange because of accidental clicks, it is not that
clear whether this is a bad setting or a hardware or software defect.

This has already manifested for me with the slow keys feature that GDM
enables and makes one believe that the keyboard died.
