It just seems very samey.

Two different points, really. I have no interest in it either for myself, but that's mostly just because I don't care for vintage specs (although I think that's changed a bit with the SE?) and I don't need an S-style guitar. If I did, I'd look for a used Suhr or Anderson.
But in terms of not "getting" why PRS would do it, my point is the sales are the explanation. It doesn't matter that it's not a bold leap forward in guitar design or construction, that it's "just another strat", or that the market's crowded. They've demonstrated that they can make an S-style at a price point (now two price points) that attracts buyers, and they seem to be selling them about as fast as they can make them.
I don't think there's anything other than that to "get.
