Not necessarily, im using an alternative input device simply to showcase the glitch in full effect, ive been doing this glitch normally on controller and on a wheel for around 5 years from GT Sport and in GT7.
Around 90% of cars are effected by the ebrake version of the glitch, only the brake version is limited mostly by FWD.
It would definitely be harder in a live setting, but it doesn't necessarily stop someone from doing what I have done with an alternative device, thats also not me saying that any top player is currently doing this.
