LOL!!  Funny for Mac's to be considered so great on ergonomics for
them to have such issues with accidental mouse movement..!  Better to
use a system which, as a whole, provides the user with uniform and
fluid interaction with the machine; e.g., only direct and deliberate,
not accidental, (pointing) gestures.  I think pointing is one of the
most under-appreciated and under-utilized gestures in UI design.

This change would seem to be more consistent with standard
click-for-focus.  I just wonder whether some folks will miss being
able to scroll with the keyboard without having to click somewhere in
the list first (e.g., to use the either the arrows, page-up/down or
typing letters to scroll)..
