Hello, I thought your post was great, but some misconceptions though. Aim assist in Apex Legends to my knowledge isn't a point based system as COD: Warzone where someone can ADS (aim down sight) and lock onto the middle of a player's character. A generic terminology would be called "Snap-On" aim assist or something similar.
From my first hand experience in Apex Legends on PC with both devices, the controller's aim assist is like a sphere around every character and it just slows the aiming sensitivity down while in this dome (edge to center).
So my point is while these strike packs have the ability to macro ADS for the user, no one would benefit from that in Apex Legends.
I would gladly admit it if someone has a counter argument against this, but it's my understanding that these "Strike Packs" are nothing more than macro devices and can't directly add anything to the game, and just basically read incoming data.
If you do see someone directly snapping onto someone, I would think that's a cheater and just using a controller for concealment purposes. It's like people who use Seer to hide their Radar hacks, some cheaters use controllers for that same concept.
Don't get me wrong though, strike packs are an issue with recoil issues for sure.
I'm a strong advocate for players all having a fair playing field. My best advice would be to keep sharing input device lobbies or something. Respawn are watching aim assist right now with all the talks on the subject. Mouse & Keyboard only and/ or no aim assist lobbies might be a real thing coming.
