Having to replace joysticks for drift is only a solution to a problem Sony and every other mainstream console manufacture has created to keep perpetuating our use and discard culture. Nothing is made with any quality anymore because people are now conditioned to continually pay the lowest price for cheaply made products instead of paying a slightly higher premium price for something that will last 10x longer.
Hall effect style joysticks would likely cost max 10% more overall to include in these controllers and would last and be accurate for years longer than the current potentiometer style ones are.
The only reason they are not included is because it would eat into profits. rant
