Yasuo possibly counters xayah more than any other adc

I'm not sure if this is intended, but I really don't think it should be. Before you say anything, I know yasuo is a counter to ranged champions, but here me out.

Yasuo is on free week, and for my past few games I have had them on the enemy team while playing Xayah.

I noticed that if he wind walls, even if I am on the same side as him, I do no damage, I think I figured out why.

Xayah's passive. The wall eats the feather that trails behind him, but even though it passed through yasuo's body before hitting the wall, the feather vanishes and yasuo takes no damage at all. This is concerning given that the trailing feather range is much further than her auto range.

I've had many encounters with yasuo, even despite my positioning against him, do 0 damage to him what so ever.

I just played as Yasuo mid against a Xayah mid, and I can confirm that he shits on her. Yasuo can easily dodge her trailing feathers. If you try to root him with his wall between you, the root won't land despite the feathers clearly hitting him. He windwalls her ult ezpz. And his q harass, if you land just about every tornado as I did, is easily enough to force her out of lane in 5-6 throws in early levels (easier than it sounds). I was actually zoning her out of cs. She really couldn't do anything
