I also take issue with parts of libinput... there are things which are relegated to the hardware database which should 100% be config options. I don't mind the idea of having a hw database, but if I as a user disagree with a choice made in the hw database, I should be able to easily change it. It sounds like the "all or nothing" tap to click stuff fits the general vibe of not letting the user configure stuff too much.
I also dislike how there's no global libinput config file. I get that it's supposed to be a library, and the user of the library (GNOME, KDE, Sway, whatever) is supposed to expose those options, but in practice, a lot of useful options aren't exposed to the user. GNOME is especially bad about that.
There are also weird choices, like: when you press down with two fingers and then move those fingers together (double click and drag), the cursor moves at twice the normal speed.
Linux input isn't universally better now than it was a decade ago and that sucks.
