It's too overwhelming to wade through the massive wall of text.
Thanks for the short overview below.

So double-click mouse-3 pops up the context menu?
But no other app uses such a gesture. So no user
would expect that the context menu should be invoked
by double-clicking the right mouse button.
Moreover, double-clicking mouse-3 is not convenient to use.
