My guess is they realized a Famicom redesign that relied on the Super Famicom to work made no sense. So they split the two apart and then redesigned them because they no longer needed to look similar and would actually cause confusion at market if they did.

Bro at least you got a SNES. I had a Game Boy (The brick with green screen) and I desperately wanted a SNES. I would go round and play my friend's sometimes. I feel robbed out of childhood never getting to have a 16 bit console at home. It's literally my favourite era now and I considered SNES the pinnacle of 2d games. I still don't own one...

Apparently the reason for the change was that marketing thought the original look is too round and toy-like.

The "buttons" actually slide. If you've used a Nintendo 64, the power switch works identically only this time it's a rectangle as opposed to a lil' pill shaped thing. The reset button slides just like the power switch only it will slide back into place automatically where as the power button will click into its two different states. The grey piece in between the two buttons is an eject lever. Inside the Super Nintendo is a little metal bar that acts as a fulcrum and the grey part is basically just one long piece of plastic. Push down on the grey part to raise these two tabs in the cartridge slot that push up on the inserted cartridge to pop it out.
