I just tried this on Firefox and can confirm similar behaviour. Some of the things I clicked on appear to have some alternate long-press function despite having a pointer device with multiple interaction modes.
It seems we have condemned our desktops to large latencies on the off-chance someone might try and interact with them using touch.

Mouse click considered complete only on mouse-up rather than on mouse-down was a thing before web browsers even existed, much less before touch UIs. Windows worked that way for as long as I can remember, and IIRC so did macOS.
