[S2] means Switch 2 only.
I've had far more stick issues on PS5 than Switch, but that's probably just luck of the draw.
For the record, the patent isn't about removing drift at all, from what I can discern, it's about adjustable resistance sticks.
Well, it's for new type of sticks, and the design seems to be good for removing drift too.
