We often.use whose power exceeds our personal needs. In fact, it is normal to design things that way, since designing tools that exactly match each person’s unique preferences turns out to be absurdly expensive and even impossible.
Cars come with seating for 4 or 5 even if you always drive alone. Your television shows far more sources than you’ll ever watch. Your hot pot has settings you will never use. Your camera has features that aren’t relevant to your particular photography — do all of us use the highest ISO setting? the manual focus aids? video? all of the AF options?
So, no harm done if a general purpose controller works well for one or two things that are very important to you even though it can do other things that you don’t need.
