The Saturn can do transparencies, they're just difficult to implement and require utilizing the console's hardware to draw the scene a specific way. Sometimes games will use true transparencies as well as dithering in the same scene, or they might skip it and use dithering exclusively and rely on blur from your TV to blend them.

This is why the only games that utilize transparencies tend to be exclusives, while multiplats that did not have the Saturn as the lead platform tended to use solely dithering instead.

"The Saturn can't do transparencies" is just a myth perpetuated by zoomers, see also "The Saturn focused on 2D and only had 3D support added because of the Playstation" or "Sony said the PS2 would do Toy Story graphics".
