I'd guess that people who wants to open a link on a new tab but doesn't know how to middle-click or command + click is indeed a very small minority.

I doubt it's a matter of knowing or not knowing about those, it's just convenience. If my hand is not on the mouse then I will just Cmd-L gith<TAB><RETURN>, but if my hands are not on the keyboard then I will right-click Open In New Tab.
