I still never liked that. It's the best of a bad situation, but aiming with a mouse is so superior, many games won't cross-platform with a PC out of fairness, lol.

It bugs me when you see youtubers talking about "how busted the auto-aim is on controller like bro look at this seriously how is this not an aim bot omg like this is seriously like playing with hacks isnhow braindead easy it is to aim on controller" and I want to reach through the screen and slap them because theyre basically complaining about wheelchair ramps making it too easy to climb the stairs.
