What did the analog button on those old controllers even do? I was never clear on what they were there for.

The "analog" button on the PS1 controller switched off the analog sticks in case dor some reason you wanted to do that. I never did. In any game, you could use the D-pad regardless of the state of the button. They probably put it there to simulate the normal PS1 controller, but... again, why would you want to? It doesn't give you any functionality the Dualshock doesn't.

The "analog" button on the PS2 controller I'm pretty much convinced was just for show. You pushed it and nothing happened. The light didn't even turn off.

Now on the topic of analog face buttons on the PS2, those existed specifically to make you rsge when your character did the wrong thing. Trying to interrogate a guard in MGS3? Nope, he's dead now. Trying to aim but not fire your assault rifle? Pew pew pew pew now everyone knows where you are, haha. Trying to glance around a corner in Enter the Matrix? Hey player, let me show you my new wall corner dance. It's all the rage.
