Gamepads provide the most comfortable finger movement and hand positioning for his needs. It isn't always about which dominates in terms of advantage.
B) My other friend has never, and I mean never gamed on PC in his life, and plans to play PS2. He got into console gaming years later than most friends, in his late teens. He plays pretty well now, and after a great deal of time being a slow learner, he doesn't want to take the time to get comfortable with playing on a mouse and keyboard when he can't even type with any finess at all. The tactical advantage is actually more of a detriment in this case as well.
Let's grow up, it isn't always about feeling elite with your sweet razer gear. Hell, the prospect of laying back in bed and relaxing after practice, work and school with a comparatively mobile and comfortable controller could sway even me at some point.
As for the OP, yes, I believe they said there will be support, and I'm sure a lot of people will use them.

Pretty much the exact reason I bought Xpadder and a gamepad because I personally suffer from carpal tunnet and it really hurts to play for extended periods, also i started gaming since I was 3 with controllers on the NES so im very used to the analog movement and I can understand not being comfortable with mouse/keyboard to actually be better in some cases. TLDR great post much agreed if support isnt available get Xpadder it will emulate your mouse and keyboard and it'll work regardless if the game supports gamepads.
