Exchanging the position of the face buttons and the right analog stick (Wii U vs the other two) is a problem, but exchanging the position of the d-pad and the left analog stick (PS3 vs the other two) wasn't.

Double standards, anyone?

No, since PS2 dominated last gen with a very very similar controller. 

Microsoft changed the position of the left analog stick and nobody wrote articles about the problems it could cause. Look at the controllers in your OP.
