All the platforms would have benefited from someone devoted to UI design and management; as, if done properly, the UI wouldn't care if you used a mouse or gamepad. teams I've managed and worked with in the past approached it this way, with reasonable degrees of success.

They did have a UI designer and programmer. All games do. However, they decided to design the UI for gamepads and focused on style over efficiency.

You can't design a UI that's optimized for both gamepad and M/KB because the two control schemes are so vastly different. It really is necessary to redesign the UI for PC ports, as Bioware has done with their games. It won't create support/debugging nightmare because even if the UI was exactly the same as the console version, it would still need to receive an equal amount of testing and debugging on the PC.
