Amazingly force feedback has actually been a thing for a while although no recent joysticks seem to support it. People horde the old MS Force Feedback 2 sticks. It does add a lot in particular to things like setting trim to feel the weight on the controls.
Thanks, patents! I think they just expired, finally. FF steering wheels were still being made, but the lower volume stuff like flight joysticks hadn't been willing to pay the licensing cost
