This is only because your ring finger is not that developed at that task, i.e.
you haven't had a reason to make use of it in that way. This is of course,
not just you, but very common in general.

I see no reason to target the lowest common denominator only. If you had
the ability to use double-right click, you probably would (btw: I think it 
would be your middle finger, not ring finger).
