Generally speaking, the touchpad shows up as a mouse, even though on other OSes it is only presented via gamepad APIs. This is, well, very frustrating for a lot of users, and having to tell libinput or evdev or xinput or whatever to ignore it every time you plug it in (if you're not using the hidraw directly) is...suboptimal. This was an attempt at a way to just generically say "don't do that".

Ah, this is probably not a good enough argument to justify that then. Some other way will probably be preferred.
