(a) so here's an opportunity for lynx to do better!

They did it at a time when the convention of single click to select and double click to activate was a standard part of the Windows user interface. I think they took that position that selection wasn't something that people wanted to do with hypertext links, i.e., I think they thought single click activation was the better solution, for the hypertext use case.
