Why are MFi or USB-C Flight Sticks So Hard to Find?

[kepardue]

I get that hardcore gamers take umbrage with Bluetooth‘s controller connection speeds, but that doesn’t seem to stop a slurry of MFi Bluetooth game controllers. As someone who enjoys playing X-Plane and would like a more portable wireless or USB-C flight stick-style controller, I’m having a hard time finding one. Does anyone know why USB-C flight sticks, much less Bluetooth Wireless flight sticks, are so hard to come by?

Even on PC you would be hard pressed to find a USB-C flight stick; most of them are based on designed that are up to a decade old; even the newest one that launched after Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 (Airbus Stick) are still USB-A connection.

I suspect there aren't bluetooth ones as the connection speed / latency just isn't as good; hell there don't even appear to be any 2.4GHz wireless ones
