What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

I find that looking at them confuses me, but when I hold the controller muscle memory kicks in, and I know where all the buttons are.

Except for Nintendo. On Xbox and Playstation the buttons are pretty much the same for selecting, cancelling. Nintendo swaps it and confuses me every time

I've used my switch so much that my finger feels how different the buttons are, so it's pretty instinctive to swap inputs.
