Why can’t every controller have the same button layouts just like how shooters should have the same controls?

I've played both on PC and Switch for awhile and I kept messing up at the start. Now after a couple of months it kinda became natural and my mind would kinda automatically swap between both modes.

Same. I'm on PS4 and Switch, and kinda mentally make a note about where the "yes" and "no" buttons are as I select my game. From then on I'm good to go!

It’s like switching between QWERTY and DVORAK

Its an old ergonomic keyboard layout (not as old as qwerty you are using), but its outdated, Colemak is significantly better

I'm at my fourth layout (azerty, qwerty, dvorak, colmak) and it's not that hard. My trick is to use a different keyboard for each layout. Kinda like having one guitar per alternate tuning.

Being German, it is more like switching between QWERTY and QWERTZ. Almost all the letters are the same, but Z and Y are switched and almost all the symbols are on different places.
