I'm not going to go "things were better back then" (they weren't), but that's indeed one detail that has definitely gone downhill.
Outside of certain niches, using a computer without a mouse quickly turns painful…

[I'm not going to go "mouses suck, full keyboard or gtfo" either; that's just as bad (or worse). But complementary ways to do things are very much welcome — that's accessibility as well.]
