Weird, I had the exact opposite experience, albeit I only play older-ish games.
Hell, even Android (I have 11, though my 7.1 doesn't seem to yet) NATIVELY supports the DS4, and all features work, INCLUDING THE TOUCHPAD, AND MULTITOUCH GESTURES, WTF
Meanwhile DS5, some games don't even recognize it, even though it shows up as a generic USB game controller???
I still prefer my old trusty DS2. Still my most favorite controller for multiple reasons.
Sure, Xbox/Switch controller may have more ergonomics with their funky assymmetric stick layout, but personally I have no issues with the two sticks being next to eachother.
