It isn't the default because it's counter intuitive.  Usually, if you have a 
plethora of tabs open (I know I do), you'd want the new tab to appear 
somewhere visible.  If you middle click a link, and the tab appears at the 
end, you'd proabably have to scroll a few pages just to get what you want.  
Same goes for new tabs.  Oh, and I think the topic has a special paragraph 
all to itself in the HIG, but don't quote me on that.

Again, counter intuitive and non-HIGgy.  This causes a menu-on-menu 
situation that is, well, not good.  Plus, double-right click to go back is 
much better. Though I would support such a feature if combined with CTRL or 
ALT.

Agreed.
