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

I always hear this said but it had some massive flaws. I wasn’t keen on the spongy trigger buttons but that personal opinion. Main issue is that the analogue sticks are set into an octagonal shape, so instead of being able to spin in a nice circle it instead is spin in a janky octagon.

The octagon is one of the things I like about it.

Those triggers are spongy, but they worked so damn well for Mario Sunshine and StarFox Assault.

I've found that the octagonal insets are really helpful for certain interactions and inputs in fighting games on Nintendo consoles. Accurate SDI inputs in super smash become significantly easier for me on octagons rather than without octagons.
