A remote will usually only use power at the moment you press the button to transmit the button press while a controller is staying on and transmitting how far the buttons are pressed which directing the analog sticks are pointing and similar. Basically the controller has a great deal more information to transmit and needs to stay powered to transmit it all quickly while a remote can just transmit the button press and go back to its off state.
