There is a place for controllers within controllers, it's called HMVC. It's still MVC but it's breaking up the function of the controller into smaller modules.
When working with a very large application ( which I do day in and day out ) having the ability to break bigger pieces of code into smaller units is key to managing and maintaining my applications. And yes, libaries assist controllers in what they do, and controllers themselves are nothing more than libraries.
To point blank say that "Controllers within controllers" makes no sense is to show your lack of experience working in the large application environment. Just do a search on this forum for HMVC or nested controllers or any other similar search and you will find that this is not the first time this feature has been requested.
I agree, models are for data.
