Please provide links to sources of your claim of "99.9% of all users".

It was always a "feature" of OpenOffice.org in the past and nobody ever
submitted a RFR (Request For Regression). I can find no requests for a similar
change in the Apache OpenOffice Bugzilla and in total only small handful people
have supported this proposed change here and in Bug 63271 + Bug 75578

Italo Vignoli and others (myself included) have put a lot of time and effort
into promoting LibreOffice to government and business. These are for the most
part the "Power Users" you derisively refer to. Let's not start removing long
established features, just to satisfy a small number of individuals who are too
lazy to second mouse click, when inserting a link into the occasional note to
grandma.

I have said as much as I want to say about this suggestion. If you are
interested, see my comments on Bug 63271
