No. This is the dumbest UX decision anyone has ever made, and I will die on this hill. The keyboard is for text, and the mouse is used for navigation. Anything else, is a bastardization dreamt up by mad men.
People who make use of macros would be using more than one. I make use of some of the various registers from time to time, but I’d have to be doing something pretty extreme to run out of letters.
I mean I use at least two; one for vim and a second one mapped to my system clipboard. But I’ll often yank to other buffers when I’m deep in a project, sometimes you don’t want to lose something you’re gonna be pasting throughout a document.

If you’re using your mouse to highlight it already then it makes sense to paste with it.

vim has 48 “clipboards”, but how many people use more than one? how many people get frustrated when they accidentally use the non-default one?

What do you think the middle click should do?
