Yeah well this is what i was thinking too.  Look at bug 201711.

Quoting the mailing list that it was turned down on:
"My experience is that the majority of users who run Linux on Apple 
hardware are also used to MacOS, and so maintaining consistency with it 
is worthwhile. That's entirely independent of the fact that altering 
this in the kernel would change the default behaviour of the system for 
users who are upgrading, which would be highly confusing.

Apple hardware tends to be intrinsically different to other PC hardware, 
and we're limited in our abilities to make it behave identically - the 
glaring lack of more than one mouse button is an obvious example of 
this.
