That's weird. When I bought my PS2 (not PS5, this was when the PS2 was new... ish...) I bought a media remote for it. The PS2 was replacing our first-gen DVD player, which was struggling with dual layer discs. So I had to get one that my mother could use. And she was perfectly fine using a game system as a DVD player, as long as it made sense and had a remote (she would not use a controller). And the remote was cool, it had the same colours and styling of the PS2.

Weird that the PS5 doesn't have one.
