Inexperienced people see no reason to ever push them and are often too scared to even try.

If people don't see a reason to push a mouse button in front of their nose, why would they try pushing a button for a longer time? I'm sorry, but that makes no sense at all.

Because they have no idea what would happen if they did push it and are therefore a little fearful of doing something wrong.
Have you never worked with inexperienced computer users?

You didn't answer my question. If they, for whatever reason, don't try to press the right mouse button, then why would they try pressing the left button for a longer time? That just makes no sense.

I only showed why 2nd and 3rd buttons aren't very discoverable even though they're sitting right there on the mouse. I agree, long press is every bit as undiscoverable as double click or any other random gesture.

I'm not saying anything about long-press; that's probably just as confusing as double-click. Dunno.
I've seen people who think you double-click everything. EVERYTHING. It's amazing to watch.
