If you're not using the other hand to press the command key, what are
you doing with it?  Jerking off?

I don't have to look at the keyboard to find the command key; I just
reach with my thumb while my hand is on the home keys. The difference
in time it takes me to command-click compared to just plain clicking is
immeasurable without sophisticated equipment.  By the time I've moved
the mouse pointer to where I want to click, my thumb is already on the
command key.

It's a side effect of having tabbed windows in the Finder.
