You can avoid that by not using MS controllers in Linux, or using old controllers with a cable. My Retropie has xbox 360 controller support compiled in and every controller works OOB.
Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller

I’m quite aware other controllers exist? Xone is a kernel level driver and works with newer Xbox controllers. It’s worked flawlessly for years. All I had to do was make sure the controller’s firmware was up 2 date.
So with virtually no effort my gaming rig supports all the controllers you brought up for some reason, plus modern ones.

Absolute pain in the ass. Had to spin up a Win10 VM to get my controllers working.
