They do kind of suck. But from a city planner perspective you already have the right of way for all that road. Makes sense to put the transit station in the middle of the right of way.
Maybe add airport style moving walkways for the highway transit centers to increase the catchment area. Imagine if you could go 500 m on a moving walkway from transit stop away from the highway into the urban area
They also don't have to entirely be terrible places to be.
Just look at Amsterdam-Zuid Station as an example of how to make such a highway median station bearable.
Though it is worth noting that Amsterdam-Zuid will be redeveloped in the coming years to move the highways underground
Elevated parkland above the highways seems very nice. Just expensive
Why stop there? Why not build a hospital suspended in the most human-hostile area of land in the entire fucking city? A library? A day care? All that wasted land!
