Even if only 1/4 of them are playable games that's still 20x the amount of games that support controller. Your personal preference does not affect the vast majority of games on steam don't support controller.

No, you have simply shown that the majority of entries in SteamDB don't have a "controller" tag.

SteamDB doesn't give you total number of all games, so there's no way to get that info without directly asking them to run the query. But even if they did I doubt you'd accept the answer anyways because I don't think you're interest in talking about this in good faith.

Literally was my point two comments above.

Even without those numbers do you even think 1/4 of games support controllers? Not works well enough with controllers, not works better with controllers, just works to a degree with controllers?

It's pretty safe to say the vast majority of games aren't fit for controllers.
