They know this suggestion exists. Look at 2.7 on The Official List of Rejected Suggestions. It links to this topic, and TOLORS is cited by many Scratch Team members, meaning a good few of them likely have read the list before. Furthermore, TOLORS was made by an ex-ST member (Za-Chary).

As for why this suggestion isn't implemented yet, the Scratch Team has a ton of other stuff to do. They've been working on server maintenance for a while, and dark mode has been in the works for 3/4 years, as well as a ton of other stuff I don't know about.

I think if Scratch were to do this. It would probly be a connect thingy, like wireless head phones. it checks for nearby conmtrollers to connect with, in a 5 yard radius or something

Sadly, having official support for Scratch on consoles is rejected on The Official List of Rejected Suggestions.

Scratch wouldn't handle this, the OS would. If the controller is connected to Windows, Linux or whatever is running, scratch will see it no matter how it's connected.

Actually, the TOLORS doesn't refer to this topic. I looked at the link. Different. And the topic is basically “USB Controller support”, not “Scratch Editor on consoles”.

Edit: TOLORS does notice it, but it's not rejected.

TurboWarp has this already, as well as that one forbidden Chrome extension. It's really useful though. Support.

Those are proprietary features only for the PS5 controller, so adding them to the extension would be hard. And I'm pretty sure ONLY the console can interact with that stuff (except gyro because that is standardized).

Q: what about wii remotes?
A: Most operating systems don't support wii remotes without extra software, and this could get a lot of people confused. pointing the wii remote also wouldn't work because you would need the wii sensor bar, which many people won't realize and create MANY help threads to try and get it to work. motion control and point sensing would be VERY hard for the scratch team to implement, and would only work for wii remotes. there will also likely be lots of suggestions about nunchuk support, classic controller, motion+, and every single other thing that can be connected to a wii remote, which each part being used extremely little. these controls also don't translate to mouse/keyboard well, which will likely result in tons of projects that only work with a woo remote, and leave people unable to play them. it also doesn't make sense what the blocks would be for this, they would either not be useful or be far too complicated for most people to use.
TLDR: too much work, doesn't make sense, too confusing for users, suggestions spam, and unplayable projects.
