I agree mostly but don't think it's controls as much as age and target audience. If you spend as much time with a controller you can get as good as with a keyboard at least when it comes to game awareness and sense. Consoles have been cheaper initially and more "casual" although this has change somewhat. That's also why most simulation games are almost exclusively played on pc. What you saw in battlefield is even more apparent in sim shooter like Arma which has added cross play not long ago.
