Aiming down sights was always a console thing. It’s extremely hard to make small aiming adjustments on a joystick, so game devs added a button to move the camera in and reduce sensitivity.

For a game like CS it would homogenize the guns a bit, since there’s a clear delineation between guns that can be scoped and those that cannot.
