I mean those are idiotic comparisons. I can purchase a gaming system from the '70s and still play it without having to update a controller or do anything like that. I can pull out my PS1 PS2 or PS3 and have them work 100% fine with no issues. I can pull out my original Xbox with no problems. Because they don't require constant updating configuring or fiddling with because they just work. And talking about Google anything being supported is just dumb. Hell they don't even support their own products beyond a couple years regardless of anything. I don't know why you're so upset about these facts but facts are what they are. Hell they've been promising a steam 2 controller since I think 2017 or something like that just like Half-Life 3.
