The problem is facetted. It's not the fact that you as a gamer with accessibility problems have to wait for there to be something out it's also that specialised controllers and parts for it costs a lot, it's extremely heavy on a budget in comparison to "just" having to buy a controller which we know can be costly enough in itself. On top there is also the need for the risk of having to have to learn to handle new software, the time it already takes to set it all up and so on. Work arounds are also fiddly and not always the most reliable especially with "outdated" hardware.
It might be available later on, but the point is that it'd be a big QoL thing to be able to have reliable support from the publishers side and not being gouged even more than avarage to have just some of the same possibilities as the average person. Heck. You don't even have to be further from the average than having smaller hands than whatever focus group have been set as the average in focus for it to be hard to get controllers that are comfortable and usable. As the average is often very narrowed to bigger hands. Even when looking for something as simple as a gaming mouse.
