No, but I didn't want the headache of multiple peripherals, and when you're 15, it's hard to convince a parent to spring for more expensive options out of convenience lol. There were options, but even still, some games didn't come with native controller support (I built my 1st PC in college in...2013? for ESO, and the controller support was through a mod, and it barely worked at the best of times).
Theyve just gotten so similar in their function, it's increasingly hard to justify a console anymore. Microsoft basically forgoing exclusives now only strengthens it
