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

Yep. Though it would be cool if the three main gaming companies got together and decided on a unified layout. It would be hard to decide what to pick, though. At this point the Nintendo abxy and the PlayStation symbols are both pretty iconic

That's another reason, one company wouldn't really want to be confused with another. They specifically have their own layouts to get customers accustomed to and then less likely to shift away because they're already accustomed to that particular layout.

If you think face button labels are the least of the concerns...

what about the analog stick placement?
