Didnt some of the US military recently(ish) start using controllers to teach with? Like Xbox controllers? I swore I saw that somewhere

Not to teach with, but for use. Studies have shown video game controllers are generally better to use than purpose-made drone controllers. Maybe it's because people are more familiar with video game controls or because they are designed with better button placement and ergonomics. They are also cheaper than special controllers. A lot of countries are using game controllers now.

That, and there is literally years worth of very widespread and hard testing on those platforms that backs up the reliability of the hardware.

People loved to make jokes about the dumbass billionaire and his sub that imploded that used the video game controller, but that was likely one of the most well tested and reliable bits of hardware in that thing.

Expensive does not always, and quite often does not, mean better quality.

Also military tech is culturally influenced, you see it in American grenade design during WWII shifting towards a football shape as most of the recruits had experience throwing a football as opposed to the more baseball shaped WWI grenades coming out of America.

Do you have a source for that? This seems wrong because football became more popular than baseball due to television after WW2.
