Almost all of 1Password's functionality can be found when you click 1Password in the toolbar of your browser. The only thing that would require a right-click on a blank area of the web page would be to collect its structure, which we only need to troubleshoot filling issues.
Right-clicking isn't second nature to a lot of people, and we try to reduce the amount of right-clicking that needs to be done as a general rule of thumb. Putting 1Password as its own thing in the toolbar of your browser means it's somewhere visible and an inexperienced user might see it and think "ah, that's where I click".
In nearly every case, you can click 1Password in the browser toolbar, or press Ctrl + Shift + X
(by default) to show/hide it. If you're having trouble filling a particular website, you can drag and drop the correct information from 1Password in the browser into the right fields, or click them to copy them so that you can paste them in the right place.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help. :)
