No, it's more than habits. Right clicking requires a single hand, and
holding a modifier key while clicking is bad in terms of GUI performance.
As I said, I think that depends a lot on the GUI used. In general Mac OS X
usage, I barely ever need a right click. I do think it's a pain to use X11
with a 1 button clicking device though (because it requires 3 buttons to be
usable). When right-clicking is necessary under Mac OS X, the ctrl click is
just as much an automatism as right clicking in my case (and my other hand is
on the keyboard anyway while mousing).
It is not too bad if you mouse with your right-hand, but if
you mouse left-handed, then on laptop keyboards the control
keys are under your mousing hand...I live with it, but I'd
really appreciate it if my next laptop had more mouse
buttons, or more flexibility in mapping the control keys.
