I’ll give them credit for doing this. But why is it not available on a standard controller too? Only the adaptive one (which I admit I know very little about), and the Elite… which happens to be very expensive. Hopefully it will make its way to the normal controllers eventually.
I'm assuming they both have more onboard processing capacity and the default controllers don't have the hardware to re-map controls.
Steam input is extremely powerful and does it all in software, though. You can run most non-steam games through Steam, and if it's a game that's also on steam, you should be able to use the Steam app ID to find game specific mappings (though I haven't personally done this).

This works, either the app id or entering the exact Steam game name as the shortcut name. Then you can view official and community bindings, apply them, or save them locally.
Probably a slow rollout to people that are likely to test this so they can iterate it into a more mature shape and then ship it more broadly
