That's empirically not true.
If I am on a page history or list of user contributions, it's takes just
two clicks and you don't leave the page. To leave someone a Talk page
message takes several new page loads and steps.
This is technically not true. Gadgets such as the navigation popups or
LiveRC can places dozens of message types on talk pages with one or two
clicks, including {{thanks}} or {{grazie}} (for IPs) on it.wiki. See
