The majority of cases where the context menu is disabled are still regrettably
sites which attempt to prevent (eg) the user saving images, and the like. It
would be simply wrong of us to make the user's computer obey the site owner's
request to disable functionality the user may find useful.

It would be all right if there were a way to get both context menus but this is
a change that ought to come from upstream and I don't think we have the effort
to fix it.

As Corey says, if you still disagree I think the ubuntu-devel list would be the
right place to discuss it.
