"tuned for Mac users" is incorrect, as is the term "normal touchpads" to
refer to personal preference, as is the assertion that people didn't ask
for the feature. ChromeOS laptops only support two-fingers to right
click. And you will find the majority of modern Windows laptops also
support two fingers to right click out of the box. Sometimes in addition
to corner support, but read on...

If there is paint on the touchpad of some specific laptop model
designating fake buttons, we can't detect that in software. Corner
clicking is also a bad idea for usability because it forces the user to
look at the touchpad in order to know which virtual button they are
clicking. Using two fingers however does not require looking at the
touchpad, only feeling that both fingers are on it.

That all said, a fix for the discoverability of the setting is planned
for a future release: https://trello.com/c/i3JvebJ9 which will be enough
to make everyone happy, regardless of the default setting.
