Hold to Purchase on the Tamriel Tome is not intended to be consistent with the Crown Store.

The crown store has a confirm. People aren't asking for single or double click, we're saying the hold is too short and visually unclear and that a hold will lead to the same issues you've had, accidentally holding and purchasing.Hold to Purchase on the Tamriel Tome is not intended to be consistent with the Crown Store.

I'll speak up for the "Hold" again too –
I recently had an issue with my mouse double-clicking on a single-click (It's a really common problem. It's fixed for now... I hope.) Accidentally bought some expensive items from NPC vendors, didn't realize until later (I was only intending to click once to preview the item). It's not the first time either; it has happened before with Event Tickets. Support was kind enough to help, but I'm sorry I had to ask at all!
Most of the reason I filed the ticket was to ask for UI confirmations of some kind to be applied to NPCs globally. (Thankfully guild stores already do this, but I believe it's via addon.)
So yeah, "Hold to confirm" or any other "Confirm" solutions are great!
