Sounds fair, thanks for explaining. 

I guess there is no 'one size fits all' solution, but the setting is
easy enough to change. I like the middle button specifically because it
is harder to push, making it more difficult to close a tab by accident.

Interesting! I like this idea and think it would be useful in various
situations like limited hardware, or accessibility needs, etc.
Hopefully its not too difficult to implement.
