I believe I already mentioned that PCs came with multi button mice before Windows 95 came along and gave the right mouse button purpose?
Looking at a machine you had upgraded to Windows 95, you had no way of knowing that the right mouse button now did something, nor was there any indication of which items in the UI supported right clicking and which ones did not.
I reiterate my point that force touch is no more or less discoverable than right clicking was in Windows 95. They are both optional shortcuts to reach functionality you can already access in another way.
