As long as you know the T is for trigger and B is for button/bumper that makes it easier for xbox.
Switch Pro really fucked me up with L, R, ZL, and ZR. When Z on the gamecube was the button located in front of the right trigger(R), and now ZL and ZR are the triggers behind the L and R buttons.
Honestly, I couldn't tell you. It was one of my earliest memories of playing my PS2. If was an open world type of game and I think it reminded me of a Spyro game. Couldn't tell you much about it as I seemed to have gave up during the tutorial as my 6 year old brain couldn't find the L3 and R3 buttons.
This was my thought too and the reason it always screwed me up, because I'd assume the bottom one is the one that's lower than the top making me press the trigger for rb and lb.
When you think about it in context of the controllers besides gamecube it makes a bit more sense. Like the snes and n64 both use L and R buttons. The Z button on the n64 was a trigger as well and I believe the same for the wii.
N64 had a Z button on the back, wasn't a real trigger yet.
Wii was psychotic B button where a trigger would be on right hand, C and Z buttons on end of nunchuck. Wii classic controller had two versions I think, one with L, ZL, ZR, and R in a straight line across the top and one with the ZL and ZR being where triggers would be and the L and R above them as in the Switch Pro Controller.
It's worth noting that only the Gamecube had analog triggers that responded to partial triggers pulls(good for feathering the gas/brakes in racing games or lightly spraying water in Super Mario Sunshine).
Everything up to and including the Switch 2 has digital triggers which are no different than on/off buttons.
