I know Steam supports controllers, but does lutris and Heroic Games Launcher support it too? (PS, XBOX, SWITCH)

Yes, all normal controllers should work out of the box on a modern kernel.

That includes official Playstation, Xbox and Switch controllers.

Like kernel 6.1?

My 8bitdo pro 2 controller works out of the box in lutris. Plug and play.

In fact the only controller that wasnt plug and play was my gamecube controller with the official adapter. I typed in like one command iirc and then it was plug and play lol

Wished windows was like that.

Linux supports more controllers out of the box than Windows in my experience. For example, the original Xbox controllers with an adapter cable to give them a normal USB-A connector work great in Linux but require third party drivers in Windows.
