You must've missed the part about the original Xbox style breakaway cord. There's no possibility of yanking the console from the controller cord.
No, I didn't miss that at all. However, the bulk of your post was about the pointlessness of wireless controllers when you're playing close to the TV, and the annoyances of managing batteries. The Xbox breakaway cable was the exception to the rule. Most other controllers were just waiting to drag your whole console to oblivion.
I 100% agree that most wired console controllers were a disaster waiting to happen. I also lost a desktop dry herb vape by my one of my dogs yanking it off the table by the cord..
These breakaways really work so well tho. I've had both my 140 pound and 115 German Shepherds get tangled in this controller going full indoor speed, and they've never yanked the console. Been using these controllers for the last 2 Xbox generations.
