Huh, I've found mice really good for this... trackballs better, admittedly I need to replace mine, bad

the degenerate cases are things where a keyboard workflow is possible but so is a mouse workflow, and because the designer would *never consider* using a keyboard workflow (and probably rises to the level of being self-righteous about it) the keyboard workflow has been broken

load up web site, i've already typed my username into that box and am typing my password when the onload event fires and forces my input focus back into the username box, because if i had been relying on a mouse i would still be trying to navigate to the username box

Both of those situations do suck. Focus theft isn't even just a mouse issue. Photoshop steals focus no less than 3 times on boot.

yeah everything i'm saying is intersectory to other issues and to some extent is more informed by and habitually proximate to the mouse rather than caused by it as such
