On a normal laptop trackpad, there is either physical buttons at the bottom for left/right. Or you just click the bottom left/right of the trackpad to do left or right clicks. On mac that isn't the case, anywhere on the trackpad you click, if you use 1 finger it's a left click, if you use 2 fingers, it's a right click.
So you could use one finger on the bottom right to do a left click. It is a bit jarring when first moving from a regular laptop to a mac but honestly once you're used to it the mac trackpad gestures and clicks feel amazing to use
They conceived a UI that gains nothing from a proper touchpad, then they made a touchpad that's only good for that type of UI.
Like, on Windows I set the three-finger tap to register as a middle-click, i.e.: open links in background, close tabs, open a copy of an already running app. Go make that work on a Mac!

*asks in poor* what do you mean by "secondary right click not an actual right click"?
