I think it had to do with the touchpads introducing a learning curve. Tbh I think if they decide to redo it then they should add swappable physical modules, so you can literally swap the touchpads for a stick/d-pad, or trackballs, or whatever fits. I can’t remember if they patented that or just had a prototype with it, either way I thought it was cool and was kinda disappointed it didn’t make it into the final version.
