This, I don't understand. On most mice, button 2 is fairly close to button one,
so it really doesn't make it much more of an effort :)

I can give one good argument against moving stuff around with MB1, though.
On every system I've yet used, and every program too, that either only used
one mouse button, or used the same mouse button for moving stuff as for
highlighting and opening, I manage to move things by accident.

Out of curiosity; what would a good way to select several icons be if MB1 was
used for moving?
