Right.
So during a global pandemic, with rising costs of literally everything, and a second recession in 12 years, not to mention a climate crisis, we should accept the inability to use peripherals that would be super easy to make work and only aren’t being made to work because the company wants to make a load of money on high markup plastic because that’s the way it’s always been?
I’m sold.

I think being able to use your old controller would be a nice-to-have but it's not going to impact my decision about buying in to the new generation of xbox or playstation. Hell come to think of it I have a brand new unused xbox controller in a cupboard that I was planning on selling along with my xbox one before buying the new one.

I hate built-in obsolescence, it signals so much that is wrong with modern manufacturing.
Isn't it likely that people will create interfaces that you can attach older controllers to, or is there no market for that/no sufficiently popular controllers that would make creating specific interfaces worthwhile?

Meh. I've never had a problem in the past with new generation = new everything. You had to buy a PS3 and PS3 controllers, games etc. Some games did still end up on the PS2 at the same time for a while but soon it was PS3 only.
