Diablo 4 has Keyboard + Mouse play for console, will POE 2 get it as well? with the same UI as PC??

I just found out that Diablo 4 brought Keyboard and Mouse to consoles last summer, and I instantly wanted to try it out to see if they changed the User Interface too. So, I reinstalled D4 on my Xbox Series X and booted it up. The game seems to be the same as if I was on my PC (my PC sucks, hence why I am so eager for POE to bring KB+M to console). They seem to have changed the UI to match the PC, which is SO MUCH BETTER than the old console version (which was similar, but different, especially when interacting with Inventory + Stash). Having different UI's is much more confusing than having the same UI (and I would think it is more time consuming to make all different interfaces).

While messing around with the settings, I realized that Xbox only allows Mouse Button 1 / 2 / 3 (Left Click, Right Click, Middle Click), and I wanted to use the other 4 or 5 buttons on my mouse (the same way I play on PC). So, I googled how to do that and found out there is a workaround. I had to bind unused keyboard keys to the extra mouse buttons and then on-board it to my mouse (I have Logitech G502 Hero). It was really simple and only took a couple minutes.

The only downfall is that Diablo 4 Keyboard and Mouse is nowhere close to as good as POE 2's KB+M. For starters, they do not have Run and Gun, which sucks, but its not the end of the world. The thing that bothered me the most is their version of Attack + Interact does not walk over to the interaction like POE 2 does, unless I also use the button for movement, which then moves me all over the place while I am trying to attack. It is very frustrating and shows how much better Quality of Life POE'2 KB+M is when compared to every other ARPG.

I guess what I am saying / asking is:

Will POE 2 get full Keyboard + Mouse play on consoles? And will the User Interface be the same as PC?

Currently, I love POE's PC UI, and I really do not like console's UI. I don't mind that Start or Select (I forget which it is) pulls up every window like in POE 1 console, but some do not look nearly as good as PC (like the Character Stats + Skill Gems + Keybind pages and the Stash Tabs).

Hopefully GGG can allow console players to play with Keyboard and Mouse, instead of just using them for inventory management.
Let's work together to make this world a better place :)
