⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Why do it in hardware when you can do in software without re-engineering the buttons? Hardware engineering is trickier, so there's fewer options.

Xbox Elite controller has full button remapping for example. Won't cover every platform, but it'll do a fair few.

I like its monochrome buttons to save the need for visually remapping. Same with the Switch, where they need to be, since joycons can be held in several orientations.
