I don't think the argumentative tone was warranted. No one is suggesting that anyone be forced to use a mouse or that accessibility solely using the keyboard be limited in any way. But there is definitely the appearance of an aversion to the mouse in some a older (and things that want to seem old-school) Unix/Linux tools.

For _some_ people, the mouse is easier to use, so increases accessibility for _them_. I think the OP was implying that better mouse accessibility could be added on-top of the existing keyboard support.
