Please discuss that on bug 38863.

Ok, what's the problem? You still need a right click and a left click (most
users don't even know shortcuts).

Like everything in the toolbox, think of permalinks and books (below) but also
"what links here" which is a fundamental tool to navigate pages.
There's no very special reason for this particular tool to be in such a bad
position: again, not your fault, but it needs a fix now rather than in the
future (aka never).
