Am I wrong to be underwhelmed by the sampler upgrades?

I've played with the new sampler features for a few hours, and I must say I don't hear a lot there that excites me. Most of it adds noisy-ish overtones to samples. Am I missing something?

The main upgrade is slicing, it was a total pain before which required multiple sampler insurances. The other stuff I can take or leave but slicing is really important for a good sampler to have.

Can one be wrong about being underwhelmed? It all depends on what you want out of it.
To me (and many others I think), this update fixed a pretty glaring gap in Bitwig's sampling workflow – easily tweakable slicing – while throwing in a good number of extra tools and features, some of which are unique to this sampler, and they're all in line with Bitwig's apparent philosophy of tweakabilty and experimentation. If none of these are relevant to what you want out of a sampler, I guess it's understandable that you'd be underwhelmed.
