But these are not conflicting features - libinput is smart enough to send
scroll events if you move the mouse while pressing the button, and to send
middle click if you don't move the mouse. I use both every day, without having
to change any setting to go from one to the other. 

There's also a bunch of caveats - the scrolling option will interfere with
everything that needs middle click drag (various content creation apps and
games), and people confuse it with Windows-style auto-scroll which it is not
supposed to be - it's mainly for emulating scroll wheels on devices that don't
have any, like pointing sticks/trackpoints and some types of trackballs.
(Though some people, including me, have found it convenient also on devices
with actual scroll wheels.)

This is also why it has to be a per-device sand not global setting - people may
want it on their devices without wheel, but not on their mouse that has one, so
they can middle-drag with it.
