It's not nearly as ridiculous as you think.
If you're making a game of a certain genre, it would be more ridiculous not to look at other games in the same genre that have done well.
If you're making a console FPS, look at how Call of Duty and Halo controls and aim assist.
If you're making a third person cover shooter, look at how Gears of War and Uncharted do cover.
If you're making a racing sim, look at Forza and GTA.
If you're making a 2D fighter, look at Street Fighter IV.
If you're making an arcade brawler, look at Smash Bros.
A large part of design is looking at what others did well and making it your own.
