Steams custom controller profiles alone used on Steam Deck are killers for me. Nothing else amounts.
Steaminput is a massive deal, it supports gyro, remapping, profiles, and extensive customization. XInput can't compare and the epic games store relies on developers for everything. That's the reason why I will always pick a Steam Controller over an Xbox controller.
XInput is X11 API and SteamInput can be used through SDL or directly.
I meant Microsoft's Xbox input method, absolutely nothing against x.org
