Its not odd ... its plain wrong.

I think Ian meant to say that the mice WITHOUT middle button are rare.
The quote above continues on like this:

without one for roughly the past decade are my old laptop

Am I right, Ian?

he refered to the nonsense at https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/PrimarySelection and the other posts just confirm this

This would actually be quite a productivity killer for me, not just
the lack of middle-button paste[1], but also removing a separate
copy-buffer. It is seriously useful to be able to carry around
multiple pieces of text, particularly if you're going to need to
keeping one and change the other (or working on two things at once).

[1] Apparently middle mouse buttons are rare. I'm in an office
surrounded by them and them only computers I've used without one for
roughly the past decade are my old laptop (now moved on, but had
emulated middle click, maybe the wayland developers were unaware of
this too), and other people's mac laptops, which have their own
'easter egg' combinations of one, two, three(?) finger clicks and
drags.
