If PC controls are held back because the game is trying to cater too much to a gamepad, I would think most keyboard and mouse players would be very dissatisfied. Just because something isn't possible on a gamepad doesn't mean it shouldn't be added for keyboard and mouse... and if it's felt that that addition gives KB&M players some sort of "advantage" well... yeah, you have more buttons, of course you have an advantage. Don't like it? Stop using the controller.
