And that's why no engineer with any sense did.

There were a lot of non-starters with Mr. Rush's sub. The controller is far and away the least of them.
If you paid to be on that sub, seeing the controller resting there wouldn't cause you to bat an eye.

Logitech makes some damn fine accessories too.

The "Titan game controller" take is backwards, it's not the problem people make it out to be. It's not a problem.

Modern first party game controllers (those included with the consoles / made by Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo) are fairly specific to their respective consoles.
They can be made to work with computers, but it is always a second-class citizen situation.
Joysticks predate consoles getting analog sticks by multiple decades, and if you hear/read video game news, the last two generations of console controllers have a problem with analog sticks becoming unreliable.
While third party controllers in my opinion typically feel either chunkier or chintzier, provided their analog sticks work well in the first place they are easily more reliable for (1) PC interface reasons, and (2) reliable analog stick reasons. And a bonus (3) tend to be IMMENSELY easier to repair if they do fail.
Years ago I gave a PlayStation controller to someone for free who would repair the analog stick and make use of it, and over the last decade have set aside (to be recycled) two premium Microsoft controllers with analog stick issues, and a third with a broken button. Said premium controllers were all $120+ each, I adore the feel of them and some extra bonuses they have, but the failure rate in hind-sight, frustrating. I've also sent off a (Nintendo) JoyCon or two due to drift.

The "Titan sub used a game controller!!" outrage is only said by people who don't play games.

Stuff like this is usually crafty spam, used to find someone "special" to take for a ride. Either that or it's humiliation spam, passing that picture around just to indirectly ridicule the person whose picture is attached.

Either that or someone has a secret crush on someone at the station, and wanted to find a way to open discussion ;).
