Note the "with just the mouse" part...

I use the CLI all the time, but sometimes I don't have a free hand to reach for the keyboard (using screwdriver, using someone else's computer to instruct them, etc.) and just want to do something quickly with the mouse only.

Mouse selection and middle click paste

I too use the mouse selection/paste extensively day to day. In fact it is seen as a "killer feature" by many folks when I'm convincing them to try a Linux desktop. Occasionally an application intentionally break this functionality. I remove those from my desktop and our computer labs whenever possible...
