Related to the image, not the article: I find the asymmetrical thumbstick layout to be terrible, ergonomically - the layout on the Switch sometimes causes me physical pain. I'm very glad that Valve didn't go that way.

Some like it, others don't. It's more important that consumers have options rather than absolutely everyone being forced to agree on one way being best.

this philosophy applies to many things, not just controller layout.

Absolutely. I'm happy that people have options.
