Possibly controller related. I plugged my Xbox controller into a Mac once, and it didn't know what to do with it (unlike Ubuntu, which recognized it as soon as I plugged it in). Same with Safari. Chrome running on the same Mac correctly recognized the controller and made it available via the gamepad API.

macOS didn't get native support for Xbox controller/DualShock until 10.13, so that may have been the reason it didn't work. Any Mac running Catalina or Big Sur should have the same level of gamepad support as iOS does.
