Touchpad is fine, because it's basically just used as a massive button you can't miss. Or two buttons (left/right side) in some cases. So maybe it's actual function is pretty worthless, but as a button to open up the map I really like it. xD

Motion sensor should stay, most games might not make use of it but there are exceptions, dreams and vr titles. The Light bar should also stay as long as it's necessary for some functionality in games, as people have mentioned the ps5 will be backwards compatible so taking out any functionality from the controller would make it incompatible with some previous software.

The light bar should be made to turn off in games that don't use it though, and a separate low power led should be used to tell you when the controller is turned on, searching, connected etc. Seems a waste for the light bar to be wasting energy while I'm playing Spider-Man and it's pointless.
