At the end of the day they're just glyphs though. Maybe letters in a clockwise alphabetical order is the most intuitive for someone who has never used a controller before, but I've never seen anyone complain about the PS buttons layout after the initial "where the fuck is triangle" phase... except for that Japanese standard where X is "cancel" and O is "confirm"... because they deviate from what we are used to (and actually mimick the Nintendo layout regarding A and B placement, interestingly enough)
People don't complain about the order of the glyphs, because outside of videos games, there is no pre-existing, ubiquitous, order those glyphs will always appear in every single time you see them (which is constantly because they make up your written language).
A comes before B. A 3 year old can tell you that.
Square, x, circle, and triangle have no preset order.
