2-finger tap never produces a right-click in any of our software, FWIW, so it seems that this is more of an issue of expectations not matching the implementation. Instead , a right-click is typically accomplished in our software with a long-press. As you observed, this depends on the app to actually implement it, though. Each case where you expect a long-press to do a right-click needs to be implemented manually in the app itself, I'm afraid. As such, in every place you'd like this to be done, please open a new bug report about it.
