all I hear you saying is that you're an older person now, and that you learned to play with a controller and that's how games should be.

well, I'm even older (or lazier) because I never even learned to play FPS games with a controller. WASD+mouse for me please.

I always see people confusing familiarity with "simplicity" and "ease of use". of course familiar things are better! but let's not mangle together the simple and well-made with the familiar; though it's hard to do this.

The part that you quoted says "I wish that people built simple keyboard-and-mouse VR games" -- that sounds to me like they mean the same thing you mean when you say "WASD+mouse for me please".
