God damn it is so much more fun than using the right thumbstick as a terrible analogue for a mouse!

    You can do this in driving games like Gran Turismo as well, to turn the car with the gyroscope in the DualShock 4 or 5 controller instead of using the analogue stick.

    The main problem with gyro controls Is that you lose quite a lot of precision. A skilled controller player on high sensitivity using an analogue stick will be more precise than a player using the gyroscope to aim or steer every time, and will be able to move and adjust just as fast as gyroscope players due to the high sensitivity.

    So yeah while gyro controls are great for a lot of players, you're going to struggle against top controller players, or top steering wheel players, or top keyboard and mouse players, depending on the game type. But then again, this doesn't matter for most gamers, let's be real most people are not playing against the top 0.1% of players and will struggle against them anyways, so for most people gyro controls will be a huge improvement.
