I have a friend who couldn't press 2 face buttons at once. He didn't know how to use both the bottom and top of his thumb seperately for 2 buttons. Just saying, hands and grips can differ.

I would chalk all of that up to not knowing how to hold the controller.
Since the Psx controller has been around so long, developers know how to manipulate the buttons to where most of the grip issues in the late Psx and early Ps2 age were fixed. I think the second trigger buttons (L2/R2) were the last major flaw in the controller.
Most developers know not to make you press triangle and x together anymore, or circle+square. And games that use shoulder buttons a lot adjusted to making L2/R2 the main buttons instead of L1/R1... which are now always back up/utility buttons.
It was annoying at first switching to MGS4's new style of shooting, and adjusting to the turbo buttons on all the sports games moving from R1 to R2... but now I understand why they did it. Even though the controller looks the same on Ps2 and Ps3, the feel is a lot different imo.
