My point is that:
a) I'm used to the triggers on controllers being placed where the index finger should go. Suddenly switching that role to my middle fingers is less comfortable.
b) In games where guns are used, the game will not feel as immersive if you're constantly using your middle finger to pull the trigger on the controller. Why? Because one uses his index finger to pull the trigger of a gun.
I never said triggers wouldn't work if they were placed on the controller to be hit by your middle fingers. I just said it wouldn't feel as natural as if they were placed to be hit by your index fingers. It would take some getting used to, that's for sure. Shoot-em-up games (control-wise, at least) would never feel as immersive, though, for obvious reasons that I stated above.
