Original consoles have a variety of controller options too including 3rd party ones (eg many versions for N64 for example).
So, I see your point but a controller is an interface only; and also this one has been custom made to work great with my hands, so ideal.
So for example, i'm not a fan of the original N64 controller as it isn't good to hold; however the SuperPlus N64 controller is lovely to hold; it is still an N64 controller but makes playing the games nicer. There is never any inference from anyone that you only get a quality game from using the original controller; in fact there are probably about 20 different N64 3rd party controllers out there.
Also, some original controllers are badly designed (Colecovision the worst, has a lot of play on the d-pad and then uses metal strips to click and not tact switches), Intellivision which makes your thumb go black from using the contoller, and also cramped hands from using the controller; etc.
I didn't want loads of spaghetti wires of controllers in a box, and also wanted a controller that felt natural in my hands; so I made one - a 3rd party controller if you like!
