they're too god damn convenient.
Still seems pointless to me.
You can just click forward and backwards or alt+left/right in browsers, and you can just used unused keys on your keyboard.
Doesn't really sound like those features warrant paying extra for a mouse with two more clicky things.
Remember in most gaming WASD is movement, which means you often have to reach to the opposite end of the keyboard to do things, especially if pretty much every easily accessible button near WASD is already being used, either losing movement from moving your left hand or losing turning/attacking/etc. from moving your right hand from the mouse to reach, even if just for a moment. If you have whatever functions are mapped there on your mouse instead, you don't have to move your hands at all. If it's a frequently used function, it's very useful. These mice also allow you to map multiple button inputs or even delayed button combinations to a single button as well, allowing you to do very precise button input combinations pretty much flawlessly every time.
