Of course you are correct, it is not a bug, rather an undocumented
feature change.
I did a fresh install of 12.2-RC2 then installed xorg and
drm-fbsd12.0-kmod but X wouldn't start. I had to install from ports
drm-fbsd12.0-kmod for X to work. The "tap to click" did not work.
Perhaps we could update the wiki
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SynapticsTouchpad to include the the
instructions to enable/disable "tap to click".
