Best Answer

Because most users are right handed and the index finger is the predominantly used finger and is more dextrous than the middle finger on a normal mouse.

just try lightly resting your finger on a table and gently tap the table with just the middle finger first then the index finger - most people would find it easier to control the index finger and/or to tap faster.
