i bought the game a year ago but never got passed the character creation due to the game not recognizing my game controller.

i use a standard xbox controller plugged into my laptop with a USB port

This game has no controller support. You will need to use an outside program such as Joytokey

Morrowind *does* have controller support (it's under Options--> Controls--> Enable Joystick), but you don't want to use it.

Among its many flaws, the Right stick does...nothing (no camera movement or anything).

The easiest thing to do is use "Open Morrowind" as it has an updated version of "Enable Joystick" that actually works.

You can find it here: https://openmw.org/downloads/

It works with Logitech Rumblepad2 fine. F310/F710 in dinput mode are compatible too, I believe.
So, "Use Joystick=1" option actually work and the game HAVE [partial] controller support, technically.
Left and Right stick are working fine (Left = movement, Right = camera, on default settings).
Navigation in menu is not supported, though.

Xinput/Xbox360 controllers are not supported for obvious reason. Since Morrowind is developed in 2002 and Xbox360 release date is 2005.. They could not predict the future

As Conkwer said.. it isn't about "dumb", it's about the steady march of time/progress. (Direct Input Vs DirectX).
