What's the use case for focusing but not selecting or focusing but not performing some action from the context menu on the file?
I believe that focusing IS selecting - short of having to subsequently choose an action. We are used to using the mouse to point at (and by clicking) select an object so that we can either get information about it or perform an action against it or continue selecting other things.
If you disable the tool meant to be used for selecting files, i.e. placing the focus on a file but not opening it, it seems obvious that you cannot use that feature.
the "tool meant to be used for selecting files" is not accepted/understood or liked much by people. It seems an awkward and unlikely extra bit when we can simply left-click on the thing to select it, and then use ctrl or shift to extend the selection to other objects.
Instead the devs chose the new selection tool which is a lot easier to understand for new users which do not know about holding CTRL in order to select multiple files.
