If its aim is to emulate the console experience, then it seems perfectly apt to emulate the controller as well. It does for me at least.
I'm going to shirk off the angsty-ness in your comment, I imagine you're passionate about the topic as well.
It "literally makes sense" and others have agreed above^ even. Figuratively it makes sense too.

Edit: @ Target.
The Backbone is definitely more polished and has its own companion app to get things up and running quickly.
However, you can get both the D8 and M10 for what this costs.

What do you mean? Gen2 of this backbone product?
It is acting as a portal to Playstation, no? What's stupid about being identical to a Playstation controller?
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank
What you said is stupid because you're complaining the thumbsticks shouldn't be staggered, when that is literally how the gen1 and gen2 backbone gaming controller thumbstick layout is and has been.
Why would they change the design for a PlayStation THEMED controller. That makes literally no sense.
I'm not using it as branding moniker (hence why I didn't capitalize the term to match the name); I'm saying that it's a streaming device licensed by Playstation for streaming from Playstation. It has Playstation logo right there on it and has "remote play" all over the marketing photos.
