I know what you mean. Things are objectively better now, but they used to be weird and a lot of us love that about the Saturn. (I just started exploring this wonderful mess of a console this year)
What's tragically hilarious about the Saturn is that despite the deep weirdness and absolute gobs of silicon, it's still not particularly good at anything.
...relative to its contemporary peers, I mean. The Saturn was an absolute beast at traditional 2D games, but even then, due to the paltry onboard RAM it required the 4MB RAM expansion cart to really shine and do things that the Playstation couldn't.
A good counterexample might be the original Amiga, which was "weird" and employed gobs of custom silicon and was indeed actually a generation or so ahead of its peers when it came to graphics and sound.
