In all seriousness I wouldn't be surprised if this is purely a legal precaution.

    Yeah, I was pretty sure it's a patent, copyright, or trademark thing.

    Yep. And even if it wasn't, different brands are under no obligation to do the same thing - I'd argue that this is different from a keyboard for example where you'd want everyone to stick to QWERTY. The only thing I'd realistically expect to stay consistent is the controller across different generations of the same console - and most brands have done that.
