Korg satisfies both ends of this spectrum in its different products. The Microkorg 2 is the update of its record-setting best-seller built around "here is a giant preset knob that has sounds organized by genre". You can program a Microkorg and it does have plenty of depth, but the general idea of it is to be a go-to "recall" box for the quintessential synth sounds.

While the feature is useful, in some senses it's not terribly important to have a sound be exact, because you're giving a performance to the circumstance. Acoustic instruments react to temperature and humidity and all of that - it worked fine for thousands of years of music.
