Until you played a PC port of it then it tell you to press A to say “Hey we should be friend” , but you use a Switch controller which makes your character said “[Sarcasm] Hey you should learn about Ligma”.
But the assumption with PC games usually would be xbox controller. Switch controllers don’t have native USB support, so any PC usage is using the xbox controller protocol. So A is on the bottom, unless the game dev found some special way to check and detect for a swich controller specifically. The overwhelming majority don’t.
Same thing with playstation controllers, although slightly more devs have found ways to check for them specifically.
I use a horipad-brand wired switch-style controller on PC. I use it because it fits better in my hands/ergonomics. I have a post-it note on my monitor reminding me of the button layout.
Random factoid: Way back in the early PlayStation days, the O button was the default “accept/enter” buton, and the X was the “cancel/back” button, because that aligned with the national consensus of O = correct/confirm, and X = incorrect/cancel in Japan. But when the console was introduced in North America and Europe, they started remapping the X and O to align with other western consoles using X, like the Xbox. That said, I distinctly remember early PS1 games being a sort of wild west of which button would be confirm, so I suspect it was also done in response to western gamers struggling to adapt.
other way around. the xbox was five years after the playstation, and used A for confirm, like nintendo’s consoles. the snes has A on the right, so the PS has O on the right. but when they released in europe, they chose to use X for confirm, which is on the bottom. so the xbox has A on the bottom.
This. And as far as I know, PS still has that split between Japan and international release. It’s probably been about a decade, but the last time I played an import JP PS game, O was still confirm, X was still cancel.
It doesn’t matter what symbols are on the buttons.

that sounds a lot like fallout 4, and i don’t think the player character ever gets to actually say anything funny in fallout 4
On the Switch, the buttons aren’t just relabelled, their function is swapped, too.
