i really dont feel that to be the case- the steam controller got a similar update near the end of its life when valve pulled the plug on it. the software engineering investment required should be minimal, as the xinput standard is well documented in use with the wireless chip already in the gamepad.

with this announcement of Stadia ending, the least you could do to prevent thousands of tons of waste, is to unlock the Bluetooth capability and allow the Stadia gamepad to be used with other devices like PC's, phones, and Chromebooks. Based on hardware data, the internal wireless chip is fully capable of acting as a bluetooth gamepad. The gamepad itself is fairly robust and well built, and giving the hardware new life would do a lot of good. - not to mention good PR. For a comparable situation, Valve's Steam Controller eventually saw a firmware update to allow standard bluetooth gamepad functionality. current gen microsoft, nintendo, and sony hardware has been largely bluetooth universal as well.
