Some of them do, some of them don't.
Not making use of the middle click for anything because some mouse manufacturers have decided to overload the function of the mechanical system related to traditional 2nd mouse button interaction with a addtional scroll functionality that is too sensitive.. is patently stupid. The problem you have is with the design of the mechanical system of the device you have. If your mouse can not be operated such that its easy to both click and scroll with the middle button, then it is a failure of mechanical design of the device. The same problem would exist if the boneheaded manufacturers decided to add a scroll function to the 1st or 3rd mouse buttons. Its the same sort of design problem that people have with trackpads with double tapping for clicking enabled. Overloading a physical apperatus with multiple functions descrimated by similar physical interactions makes it harder to consistently use all exposed functions of the device.
