The development environment was improved significantly a few years into the generation, similar to the PS1 which was very obfuscated until better tools were developed. The pre-release tools Time Warner had available to them were the earliest development environment available and predates platforms like the Address Checker, Cartdev, Mirage etc. I'm not defending it but that was a key element of all consoles at the time, the earliest environments were not the most ideal - things got better as time went on and it was reflected in the software quality as developers and the platforms they worked on matured
