Most users know so little about the UI of their computers that they don't know when to click the mouse once or twice.

They spend their day working on Windows, checkout Facebook on their iPhone on the way home, play a game on a Playstation then send some email using Gmail on Safari.

Peoples interaction with computers has become much more diverse. Unless the UI is jarringly different they just aren't going to notice.
