I know from experience when I had this sort of thing enabled [via a 
logitech driver in windows] I had a habit of making a lot of mistakes 
just due to habit and the default behavior changing.  It would be 
awfully intrusive to the user experience to suddenly default to this 
sort of behavior.

Obviously it makes a really nice option for users to add to their own 
configuration.
