Agreed. I don't think there is a gamer on the planet who would balk at any extra cost to have hall effect sticks in every single controller. Can't imagine it adds more than a few dollars.
3rd party, 8BitDo seems to be the best/only option. They have both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz options. I have some concerns with Bluetooth input lag but I am expecting a Bluetooth SNES gamepad to arrive today so I can update with my experience later this evening.
Bluetooth
2.4GHz
They have some other controller options as well, but make sure you get one with enough buttons. Their 2.4GHz SNES controller only has the standard SNES buttons so you'd either have to sacrifice one button to use as Hotkey (typically Select) in which case you can't use that button in-game, OR you just won't have a Hotkey in which case you need a keyboard to exit emulation.
Then there's always standard Xbox and Playstation (and probably Switch Pro) controllers. 8BitDo sells a 2.4GHz adapter that is supposed to work with those first-party controllers, or if you have a newer Xbox controller it will have Bluetooth built-in.
Realistically, fines or other regulations that has the effect of increasing their costs. The way it should work is that this would increase costs to consumers, who then buy less or buy from a competitor who doesn’t pollute as much. But too many people think that any regulation whatsoever is communism and scream whenever anything like that is talked about so nothing ever gets done. And also the politicians are bought.
Let me know how it goes. I'm still figuring stuff out as well. Right now I'm running it on a RPi 3B but considering re-flashing on a RPi 4. I'm also trying to figure out if/how I can make certain emulators automatically apply a certain shader (e.g. scan lines on NES/SNES or LCD for Gameboy). This is just a side project for me at the moment so not sure when I'll have time to go down the rabbit hole.
I thought I had read, several years ago, that Apple dumps a bunch of money into R&D of new tech in exchange for exclusive use of that tech for a period of time after it hits the market (e.g. ultra high-res displays on the iPhone 4). Seems like they haven’t done that as much in recent years but I’ve been patiently waiting for graphene batteries. Maybe this is the year 🤞

SMB3 - same as before this morning's update.
In any case, I figured out my syntax was wrong for mounting an NFS share. Fixed that and I'm now able to mount the same folders to the same mount point using NFS so I guess that's a suitable workaround.
Retroarch is part of RetroPie. I also just installed RetroPie for the first time yesterday and have been trying to wrap my head around it all. Best I can tell, RetroPie = EmulationStation + RetroArch. EmulationStation is the front-end that makes using RetroPie more controller-friendly and adds some additional polish, and RetroArch is doing the actual emulation.
Your best bet is probably just reflash RetroPie using the Raspberry Pi Imager. I haven't gotten too deep into other features quite yet (shaders, shortcuts, saves/save states, etc.) so I won't be much help there.
Short answer: no
Long answer: the percentage of drivers that are outrageously bad at driving is probably a fraction of a percent. This still equates to a very large number of drivers, but there is also very much a bias at play. You only ever see videos of shitty drivers and probably never see videos of good drivers which skews your view of how good or bad the general population is at driving.
All this to say, yes there are a very large number of lethally dangerous drivers, but several orders of magnitude more drivers who are not. You just don’t notice them because they aren’t bad drivers.
