The idea is that the Steam controller lets you play games where you'd normally want a mouse (like Civ) by providing a trackpad. The problem is the trackpad works really poorly at simulating a mouse. And because the Steam controller doesn't have two analog joysticks, it's basically unusable for games where you need two joysticks (like Rocket League or Dark Souls).
This. I didnt like the trackpad on the steam controller at all. It was so small that it didnt emulate a mouse very well and i use a trackball mouse on a regular basis.
