From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sorry for the rough tone, it's been a long week.
The question is not that it has always been that way. The question is that different systems do things differently and one must take time to learn it.
If I would use an Apple system I'd have to learn how things are done on it. Of course you can always compare different approaches, but take time to understand why the differences exist.
When I use Windows I often miss the middle click copy, but I'm not saying window copy paste is broken for the lack of it.
Again, sorry for being harsh. A vacation is very much overdue for me.
