One of the first things I always notice after installing or upgrading macOS to a newer version on my MacBook is that the tap to click feature of the trackpad is disabled by default. That is, with default settings, we need to click on the trackpad to perform primary and secondary click operations.
Though many users prefer to click on the trackpad to do a click, there are users who would like to perform primary and secondary click operations by just touching the trackpad. That is when Tap to click feature is turned on, you just have to tap on the trackpad to perform left-click operation. Likewise, you just have to tap with two fingers on the trackpad to perform secondary or right-click operation.
The benefit of enabling Tap to click feature is that you don't need to click, meaning your fingers are less strained at the end of the day.
