Yet, Gnome docs use the terminology left and right button:

"Press the right mouse button on any local folder "

https://help.gnome.org/users/shares-admin/stable/tool-getting-started.html.en_GB

Windows, too and other mainstream tools.  I guess left handers who
switch the buttons are still able to interpret the instructions when
reading the documentation.

The whole point is trying to move emacs terminology nearer to mainstream
usage by eliminating arbitrary differences.
