The main purpose of mouse-1 is to set point. On areas where mouse-1
can also follow a link (after a delay), there should be a clear
indication to warn users about that. OTOH, the main purpose of mouse-2
is to perform special actions. It is not essential to warn users
about ambiguity that mouse-1 has: when the user clicks mouse-2 on areas
without mouse-face=highlight, that means that the intention was to
follow a link, not to set point.
So I think the question is not whether to make mouse-1 to have the
exact same effect as mouse-2, but why mouse-2 sensitive areas are
bigger than areas with mouse-face=highlight in the *Occur* buffer.
I recall that the reason for that was to reduce flicker (especially
on large context areas in the *Occur* buffer).
