I'm with your grandma: GC controllers are goofy and annoying. I like pointing at stuff better. Motion controls need a comeback.
What amazes me on that is how OG Xbox games sell for between fuck and all with the exception of Jet Set Radio Future. There's also limited emulation options. Even the same game compared to the PS2 versions go for cheap. I bought my Xbox for £40 around the release of the Xbox 360 when they were being sold off, with almost all the games you'd care about included, but never really played it due to the lack of a good controller. Finding dukes in good condition was difficult, but I never went out of my way to check.
These days you can use a modern Xbox Series/One or 360 controller with a Brook wingman xb and a cheap USB->Xbox adapter. It's not quite the right feel, good condition original S controllers aren't too hard to find but the old plastic is starting to get brittle, the translucent controllers seem to be immune for whatever reason.
FM1 and 2 remakes mechanically are quite good.
Ackshually there are black gamecube compatible Wiis as well as red ones, it's just at some point in 2011 Nintendo switched all production over to the "family edition" Wiis easily identifiable by the horizontal Wii logo with no back-compat to reduce cost.
Couldn't find a better picture to illustrate that. The bottom one also didn't had any GameCube connectivity.
I don’t know a single person who didn’t use that feature.
Motion controls died off because after a long day at work (or even school if the kid is old enough), people don't want to leap around their rooms like spastics. They just want to sit down with a controller and relax.
Motion-Anything when it comes to gaming is practically a niche at this point. You're either doing it because you're at a party with friends, using it for working out, or you're into the music genre i.e. DDR (which also counts as working out).
Motion controls are best used as pointing devices, ie pointing a machine gun or pointing a revolver or otherwise pointing at something that should die. They were misused by developers, underappreciated by gamers (when done well), and overall died because people are stupid. How am I supposed to play Operation Wolf now?
Hence the need to bring it back.

what am i doing wrong
You do know Switch, PS4/5, and even PC to an extent all support motion controls, right? At least some games do, I’m not gonna claim every single modern shooter supports them.
Well, sort of. Unfortunately I've played the Switch version of House of the Dead. I think the Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy couldn't reproduce the original's controls and I would guess it's the same for Prime 3. Modern motion controls are for exercise games or microadjusting your aim in Fortnite, but they don't have proper motion tracking so they're not up to the standards of 1987 lightgun games. Although even the Wii is somewhat wonky compared to an actual lightgun*. To actually do a "lightgun" game in CY I think you really need VR, or maybe there's some niche PC peripheral that probably isn't supported by anything and requires a lot of monkeying around, I dunno.
The Switch versions of Galaxy and Prime did have motion controls, just optional now. Nintendo has at least been good with keeping them around. Even with some specific stuff, like one of the subgames in Kirby Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a remake of a DS subgame that used touch controls, but now you can choose between touch/stick/gyro aiming.
