The standards are not incoherent. However by design they need to be abstract to apply across very diverse businesses.

I've implemented ISO 27001 myself (solo dev founder, 6 person company, USD2mn SaaS). The divergence in quality of the implementation depends on whether the company is actually using IS027001/SOC2 as a tool to formally define, implement and monitor information security or finding the path of least resistance to accreditation.
