I mean why would they?

EAs plan is to make profit with Apex. 
Which agegroup plays most with controllers? Kids
Which agegroup spends most (parents) money on skins, packs etc? Kids

So who do you think is the preferred new incoming player. 

My advice to you as a fellow MnK old timer is, its time to accept defeat. If you want Apex to survive they will most likely buff aim assist and allow movement configs (like they already have) on controller. 
Nerfing aim assist would mean controller players leave and Apex will be similar to community driven Quake Live in the next 5 years or so with maybe 500 diehard MnK players and no aim assist. Or they just pull the plug on the game & servers if the player numbers get small enough. And in that case those diehards find a new home playing the R5 Reloaded Apex. 

But it would be stupid business plan to kill the milking cow now wouldnt it. Please expect more controller buffs.

Where did you get the data that most controller users are kids exactly? I speak as a console player who plays on the PS5 & Xbox X where controllers are the only means of playing games atm & I'm very much an adult category much like the vast bulk of teammates I have played alongside over the years who were also console players.But if you are referring to controller players on PC then that's another thing entirely.

Regarding the old nerfing AA for controller players to some sort of parity with M&K debate I can understand if it was for controller players on PC but certainly not as things currently stand regarding us console players with the giant elephant in the room.That elephant in the room being the difference in frame rate that PC players can enjoy 120fps (capped at 160fps) whilst us console players (especially next gen PS5/XBOX X) can only play on 60fps.In Lehman's terms that means PC players are playing at double the speed,reaction times etc & if that isn't some sort of advantage I don't know what is.The small difference if at all noticeable in AA times between us console players & PC m&k players is only a small compensation aside from frame rate differential but also the many movement advantages that the Timmy Tap Strafer can enjoy on their m&k.

Anyway Respawn have always proved to be in various pro players back pockets as whenever the pros  want something changed in the game Respawn will tend to bend over backwards to change it regardless if the changes are for the good of the game or not & are more for the self interest of these pro players. I do expect Respawn to nerf AA for all controller players but to caveat any satisfactory changes then they are going to need to roll out 120fps for us console players first.But from what I hear 120fps on console isn't in the immediate pipeline.
