I agree. I would never use the second mouse button on my MacBook if there was one.
And I would never operate a Mac with only one button, and haven't since at least 1990.
My favorite mice used to be by MacAlly, a pioneering maker of Mac peripherals and still one of the very best. More recently, I've come to love Microsoft mice. Say what you will about their software, but the irony is that they make better input hardware than anyone.
Anyway, I've been using a mouse since Lisa, and I think a 1-button mouse is a colossal waste of energy, and dramatically reduces speed and frankly, power. Yes, Macs have speed and power to spare, but why not work even faster and more powerfully if you can? It's cheap and easy.
As much as I've loved my Macs over the past 20 years, it embarrasses me to be associated with such nonsense. The fact is that Apple has moved on from limiting to control-click, with both the mighty mouse and the most elegant keypad right-click in the business.
I'm not even counting the THREE button mouse required to use Logic.
Now to ANSWER THE QUESTION.
The right-click touchpad solution on the Mac side is brilliant. Really, truly magnificent. And on Windows it's a waste. The problem is that Apple has chosen not to write drivers enabling tap-to-click for Boot Camp. So depending on where your fingers are on the touchpad, you sometimes have to reposition your hand to also be able to use your thumb to click the button.
Go get Input Remapper, a free app that lets you -- surprise, surprise -- remap your MacBook keyboard to work more like you're used to, like mapping the fn key to Control. One of the most helpful remappings: the right Apple key to right click. It may not sound like much, but try it. You'll see it's a major improvement.
Very much like the solution on the Mac side of the boot, where command delete is usually the way to go.
But a couple of months shy of 20 years Mac and only a couple of years Windows, and I think the delete key is one of Windows' best features.
Once again, Input Remapper to the rescue. You can map a true Delete key to several different places. I've chosen the enter key near the space bar. It's especially helpful for the control-delete keystroke combo which is the VERY best thing about Windows.
Input Remapper.
