Perhaps Microsoft should start addressing that by pulling their own fully certified "build your controller" kit [1] from the market, or banning it from online multiplayer games. If they really want to get serious about it they could even add anti-tamper seals to their controllers to stop cheaters from opening them up and soldering wires to the button pads, which is still a surprisingly common thing to do. Granted, both approaches require expensive parts and a lot of work, but I would argue that cheaters are a minority and are going to cheat no matter what (and most of the more advanced cheating devices I have seen are not particularly cheap or easy to buy either). Third-party accessory manufacturers are the real target here. While I appreciate Microsoft's desire to crack down on cheating and make sure players will only use high quality peripherals rather than AliExpress specials, enforcing cryptographic attestation to lock competitors out is not the right way to accomplish it.
