As a random data point, I installed three new systems with Debian in the last weeks; the first time I installed new systems for years. As those systems were not intended for personal use, I didn't copy my personal configs which have carried anti-mouse boilerplate for roughly a decade.
I was bitten by mouse being enabled on every one of those systems; especially when setting up, it's quite common to copy & paste text, data, and config over. For configs, I usually use Vim. Not being able to paste by pressing middle button and having my cursor jump all over the place was surprising at best. On the other hand, I do get that new users might have an expectation of the mouse working. But I would argue that those could use gVim if they wanted a more mouse-centric UI.
