it eventually happens to any potentiometer based analog stick from regular use, but it can happen sooner if you get dirt in it or otherwise damage it.
the first console where it was a huge problem was the switch, and then the problem got exponentially worse when the PS5 and XSX came out. for some reason the alps sticks they used got shittier and more susceptible to drift than the previous gen even though they already used alps sticks.
if you buy any of the current big 3 console controllers it'll happen within a year or two. if it doesn't it's because you don't actually use them very much.
