It's already overpriced; I shudder to think what it would cost with
force feedback.

It is overpriced, so a decent cost with FF should be possible. Before
my recent illness chewed up a ton of savings, I had done some
prototyping and was considering starting a side business making such
yokes, although my first aim was selling a relatively inexpensive sim
avionics setup. (The latter also being overpriced.)

I'm a big believer that having sim avionics hardware allows pilots to
realistically practice setting up radios, nav, etc. In my area
(Northeast) you can change freqs fairly often.

And several sources I've read say that incorrect feedback is worse
than none at all. And since different aircraft "feel" different, it
would be hard to calibrate the yoke for each aircraft (MSFS wouldn't
do it).

Incorrect feedback is indeed worse than none at all. But none at all
is really bad.

It should not be difficult to allow for calibrating feedback for each
aircraft.
