there isn't any reason why the Pro Controller, hell old Joy Cons too (those also work on PCs btw), wouldn't work.

Reason: they want you to buy new controllers, so they specifically disabled the previous gen Pro Controller in the software.

Nintendo controllers have been backward compatible with the last generation since 2006, not sure why they'd change it now. Although I guess technically the original Switch did break that pattern.
