It is strange that Scott did seem to have filmed more coherent versions of both films (most of the content is from deleted/alt scenes), but then decided to go with whatever we got for the theatrical versions.

No it isn’t. Scott has a long history of that. It is one of the many ways he fails as a movie maker. He is the poster child for the big bad evil studio interference card to explain away his mediocrity.
