When I touch a good quality button, I can feel the actuation point, and it's the same every time - I can learn to tell reliably whether I've pressed it or not.

When I touch my thumb and forefinger for a camera, I can't reliably tell what point it'll get detected as touching, because it isn't the same point each time.

As a result, I have to hold them together until I'm sure it's registered.

As a user, knowing unambiguously whether you've activated a control or not is a huge advantage for controllers & buttons.

It sounds like the wrist strap thing will have haptic feedback for when the gestures get registered, so you'll at least know when that happens. It sounds like that might actually make it better than the annoying capacitive buttons that's popular these days with no feedback…
