what if your mouse doesn't have two buttons? In fact, some mice don't have any buttons. (apple, over the years)

That's apple's problem. I've been fixing apple devices since the puck mouse. They choose to go against the grain on purpose. Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it makes absolutely none.

...and, to build on this: the fact that this is Apple's fault means that it's not the fault of the GUI paradigm - just Apple's implementation of it.

It means it's not the fault of the Windows 95 GUI paradigm most middle-class North Americans millennial age or younger have been trained with. Windows 95 is not the GUI paradigm, it's one single product that implements a GUI paradigm.
