If those devs didn't have the extra time to be creative, we might not have gotten this classic.

To be fair, that was probably the worst controller ever made. Even the Duke was more friendly, just gave cramps.
It was quirky, sure, but not the worst controller ever by a huge margin. Probably not even the worst first-party controller.
I loved that controller I think it's such a shame it's so universally panned. Don't get me wrong, I wish it had dual sticks and I also wish the stupid main joystick wasn't built such that it breaks terribly from normal use, I also would have appreciated if they hadn't put those stupid ridged rings on the stick that shred up your skin, but I still think it was really innovative and fun to use and for the most part, pretty comfortable including it's alternate mode of operation with the D-pad.
