I have always used a "gaming" mouse, eg. high precision, high refresh rate and super smooth, with a mouse mat with just the right amount of friction. It however broke a few month ago and I got a cheap replacement, since then I have been subconsciously avoiding using the mouse, because the experience with the cheap replacement mouse is so bad. So I think the reason people don't like using the mouse is because they don't have a good mouse and mouse pad, and because they haven't spent years playing first person shooters - making it possible to hit a spot on the screen with pixel-precision using just muscle memory...
No... it's because it's just a LOT faster not to have to move your hand between the keyboard and the mouse.
Unless you are typing one handed then there is inherent inefficiency in using a mouse vs. a keyboard command. Example: ctrl/cmd+c ctrl+v vs right click copy/paste.
Context: I've competed at a high level in CS/Valorant and voltaic platinum... mouse accuracy is not my issue.
Once you achieve relative fluency with using a given text editor or IDE then it is natural to gravitate towards using keyboard shortcuts.
Eventually, if you type decently fast (70wpm+, though that's slow by my standards but I'm not here to boast about the size of my epeen) many will find it frustrating moving between keyboard and mouse constantly.
