It's not about wasting time, pointing devices are less precise which means they demand more attention and are less flexible.

Going with your theory, I'd say that pointing devices are more precise which means they require more brain-CPU cycles to operate ... pixel-space is large and you must position it within some delta of the target widget you're trying to use.
Whereas in emacs, say, it's a quick "C-x o" to change to the next/other buffer.
