Do they make controllers that address all accessibility issues?

Yes, at least for most.

"You're doing something that goes against my interests. So guess what, I'll prevent it, while claiming that it's for the best of your interests. You're a customer thus stupid, and something stupid like you should be protected from itself. You «it»".
