windows removed my grub bootloader at least 3 times even once after i started using seperate drives.

ive never had the opposite happen.

its a fairly niche thing, mostly used for fighting games.

most fighting games are, at least to some extend, based on streetfighter 2, a game that released on arcade hardware, before analogue sticks were a thing.
so most fighting games can be played just fine without analogue sticks.

most enthusiasts played on arcade style controllers, where the stick works more like a dpad on modern controllers.
but some players started switching from sticks to a 4 directional button "leverles" setup.
some say that it is more ergonomic or more precise.

there is a learning curve to using it, but that is imo verry dependent on what controller you used before, and how you think about it.

every time i hear about the super bowl its people talking about the halftime show and the commercials.

THE biggest American Football event,
and aparently still nobody gives a crap about the actual game ?!?

smartphone vendors map out the locations of wifi routers and use the location of known routers to improve accuracy.

like an army of makeshift gps basestations.

maybe this might make phones more resistant to errors than purely relying on gps?
