Sorry but while it may not work for everyone it is close to the perfect size for most people. You even acknowledge it with your comment about the original Xbox controller. I've never met a single person who thinks that controller was appropriately sized.

Nobody said perfect for everyone. It is however, very likely, better for more people than anything else. There are a few people with large hands that liked the original xbox controller. There are 0 people in the world who think it was the best size for most people. It's just not. The same goes for the Samsung Note (1 and 2). It's objectively not the correct phone size for most people, but there is a large subset (in raw numbers, not percentage) that likes the huge phone.
