Valid point - personally I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts and it reduces my actions on mouse. However, it was not enough and I still had stiffness after working days.

I believe it is more related to how we keep our wrists on the table. Holding a classic mouse for many hours puts unnecessary pressure, while vertical mouse supports more relaxed holding position for the wrist.
