I'm in an office surrounded by them and them only computers I've used without one for roughly the past decade are my old laptop (now moved on, but had emulated middle click, maybe the wayland developers were unaware of this too), and other people's mac laptops, which have their own 'easter egg' combinations of one, two, three(?) finger clicks and drags.I just did a quick walk around our office of approximately 70 people and every mouse had 3 buttons. As far as the middle button paste being an "easter-egg" it was documented in the "X Windows Systems User Guide" on page 97 way back in 1990
well, i bought my first PC in august 1999, installed the first Linux october 1999 and used the middle-click-paste from the very beginning even on a 2-key mouse by just press both kyes at the same time
that was SuSE Linux 6.1 or so and now 16 years later we talk about "eastereggs" - not sure if i should laugh or whine about the new developer attitudes throwing away anything because someone pretend it's not known or used and replace woking things with feature crippeled shiny new ones bringing us back in time 15 to 30 years
