I guess the rationale came from the strict separation between 2D (D-Pad) and 3D (Analogue Stick) games. Ironically the N64 ended up having basically no 2D games anyway. But yeah, the SNES controller was already pretty much perfect. Adding two sticks like Sony did was the best solution. Come to think of it, despite Sony being so consistent in their controller design, if you need a pictogram of a controller the Atari joystick is still the way to go, just like saving is still indicated with an icon of a floppy disk most of the time.
