Controller vs mouse in console games (self.nintendo)

Am I the only one not being able to use a controller in first-person games that usually require a mouse to look around / shoot / etc?

This is the reason I avoided buying and playing FPS games or ie Portal, BotW, etc. I find it clunky and first game I tried with sticks on the controller I dumped after the first 10 minutes and switched to playing on a PC, regretting spending the money.

I just prefer scrollers or fixed-cam games for this reason.

Maybe I'm old, but I don't get the 30-minus year-olds being so agile with it.

Do you have any tips on improving myself on this?

It's getting used to sticks+gyro. Using the sticks for the big movements and the gyro for the fine tuning. That's what got me through a lot of Splatoon, and then I found that system brilliant for Diablo on the Switch. I played Diablo Eternal on the PS4 and it felt like a downgrade without the gyro assist, to be honest. I haven't used M+K for so many years (like since the original X-Wing came out) so it's kind of tough to go back to that after so many years with a controller, but it just takes time to adjust I suppose.
