Some people are intimidated by more than one button. If you are not this
sort, I guess Apple figures you are capable of selecting a replacement from
the wide assortment of third party two (or more button) mice. Personally, I
favor Kensington, as I think there mouse driver software is very good (you
can set custom acceleration curves, and set the buttons to do different
things based on the application in the foreground, among other things).

I bought some five button, scroll-wheel equipped, Kensington Optical Elite
mice for the office, for about $15 each (on sale) not too long ago.
