Why the down votes? This is an honest question.
It is a classical critism of context menus that they are hidden and their presence needs to be learned. This problem obviously gets worse here as the context menu is only present in the latest hardware.
From a business perspective it makes sense: You are selling a package and the extra software feature is given to those pay for the update. But whether it is good design - that is another question.
And as a curiosity: Context menus are used much less in Mac OS than Windows. There is only a single button on an Apple laptop and Apple went on for decades with the one-button mouse for their desktop computers, only to introduce a multi-button mouse very late.

- mikeash 11y agoApple laptops technically have one button, but effectively have two (or more) because clicking with two fingers performs a right click. You can't really tap with two fingers on a touchscreen so that wouldn't translate to iOS well.
