I personally would disagree; click sticks/R3/L3 is effectively adding two more buttons, much like the introduction of shoulder buttons on the SNES. It's a nice addition, but the way analog transformed game control in 3D space was on another level, I mean imagine trying to play a modern 3D game like TOTK, Elden Ring, etc with a D-Pad instead of a left stick.

Dual analogs took it to a whole new level i can't imagine playing a modern 3d game with 1 analog. its a nice of step up compared to the D pad, but dual analogs changed everything.

Single analog was the breakthrough that enabled dual analog though; establishing the feature itself laid the groundwork, and that came from Nintendo.
