The analog trigger travel on the Xbox Series X controller is reduced by a quarter due to the dead zone assigned by Godot.
There's too much dead zone at the beginning of the trigger press and too much at the end.
If you open the Windows configuration for the controller, the dead zone is not as noticeable, especially at the start of the press.
With this tool, you can notice that the entire trigger travel is usable, even more so than what is shown in the Windows driver:

In these images, I illustrate the issue.
The red area represents what Godot utilizes from the trigger's total travel:
The Windows configuration seems to utilize more:
Gamepad Tester takes advantage of the entire trigger, which seems ideal to me:
Steps to reproduce
Simply run the project and start pressing the left analog trigger slowly. You'll notice that you have to press it too far for Godot to detect the input, and you'll also see that long before reaching the end, Godot already assigns it a pressure value of 1. This leaves a significant portion of the trigger's travel unused.
