IMHO, one should never need to deal with input devices

And, yes, the host could also provide this information, but I don't
think it's the hosts responsibility to be providing the plugin any
information that the user didn't explicitly request be delivered to
the plugin (e.g. by clicking on an XY Pad control and moving the
cursor position).
The user 'requests' this information by connecting the X,Y CV ports
provided by the host to the CV inputs of some module(s). Just as one
would input audio.

It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
