In this day and age I expect every game to allow control remapping, certainly on PC but even on console I feel it’s warranted, to the point where I get mildly annoyed when they’re not remappable, even if I don’t intend on actually doing it.
I think a big part of that is I use colemak, so if a game uses layout-aware controls (rather that physical key location scan codes or whatever), then I can’t play with a keyboard unless I can remap it. I won’t change my layout just for a game, too much hassle (and I’ve always had weird issues about default layout when having multiple layouts setup for quick switching).
Most PC games do allow remapping these days, thankfully. Browser game’s usually don’t but I don’t tend to play them anyway.

AHK by default suppresses the keystroke itself, which means that all you have to do is create a mapping of the keys to other keys in a script and run it. I use it to bind caps lock to a windows-wide microphone mute toggle and it works great.
