There are only 4 questions tagged with controller. Is this tag really necessary?
Shouldn't this be synonymous with [control]? The term is also related to [driver]. It can also stand for an abbreviation of [microcontroller].
Or leave it as is?

I would say control is more about control theory - what do P/I/D gains do, how do I implement state space, observers, etc., where a controller is the device on which a control system is implemented - MSP430, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. A driver is the software on a PC that enables the PC to correctly communicate with the controller.
I'm all for using 'controller' as a synonym for 'microcontroller' - I think that's exactly what people mean when they use it.
