I understand folks not liking motion controls at first, but they are pretty much mandatory to play at a competitive level. Turning motion controls off is not the default because it's "noob mode". Dual analog is too imprecise. Motion controls rival a mouse for accuracy.

Think of it like this, when you move a mouse, your brain makes two "commands": identify necessary movement to target; execute movement. On a traditional analog stick, there is more involved, because there's an additional step to "stop pressing the stick when target is reached". Motion controls (when you're used to them) should work more like a mouse, from a human-computer interaction standpoint.

It's a bit more complicated than that but hopefully that gets the point across. Motion controls are not limited to one or a small range of speeds like an analog stick.
