That's one solution to the problem of selecting the thing you want to work on.
Apple's solution has been to throw hardware at the problem. You have gestures, expose, mission control, etc. all available from a really good touchpad.
It would be crazy for a linux distro to take that approach because they can't bundle a high quality touchpad with every laptop they sell.
I definitely don't claim their approach that they will do best of class support for a pointing-heavy workload will suit everyone, just that it makes sense for a combined OS and hardware vendor.
