There is already the need to support alternate input mechanisms in the form of accessibility and keyboard navigation.
Creating UI widgets that work well everywhere is a non-trivial task that is frequently underestimated.
What this really highlights is the need for high quality UI toolkits which abstracts these details. If a developer is complaining about supporting mouse and touch, then they're most likely missing out on many more details and should be using some pre-built components instead.
