The right mouse button has been standard on Windows OS mice since 1995, and the "context menu" it displays is an integral part of the computing experience, saving time as well as educating the user about what commands are available for the currently selected object.
Apple refused for ten years to add a right-mouse function, and eventually enabled Control-clicking to display a context menu (a solution that is cumbersome, requires two hands, and is not Accessibility-friendly). Even so, in many contexts, no menu is available, as the concept is not a standard part of the MacOS user experience guidelines.
