I find them more comfortable. The left joystick is the primary for movement, and the primary interface should be on top because that’s how thumbs work. The right needs to jump from the joystick to the buttons, so having the buttons be to the top and right makes sense (again, where thumbs go).
I have a PS4 controller for my PC because it supports Bluetooth and works OOTB with Linux, but I honestly prefer my old XBox controller. I’m probably going to get a PS5 controller, not because it’s more ergonomic (it’s not), but because it has gyro aiming. Playstation controllers aren’t uncomfortable, they’re just not as comfortable as offset joysticks.
