Seems like it.

Just because arcade sticks have 6 buttons doesn't mean it's a good idea for your gamepad to have 6 face buttons. First of all, arcade sticks let you use pretty much all your fingers of your right hand to press those buttons. With the gamepad, you have to use just your thumb or maybe the index finger like described above. It's not just uncomfortable, it's slower and very hard if not impossible to hit multiple buttons at once. Hitting multiple buttons at once is the reason why shoulder buttons were invented in the first place. Multiplexing fingers among 4 buttons was bad enough, it's infinitely worse with 6.

Might be usable for fighting games alone, where you're mostly pressing 1 button at a time in a sequence. It's still worse than arcade sticks, hitboxes and keyboards.
