gyro move kinds feel extremely artificial compared to the simplicity of all other canonical moves.

Yes, it is a lot more complicated this is because of the nature of what the gyro is doing. The gyros are effectively a 4 dimension rotation of the puzzle that actually doesn't change the state of the puzzle, but just the orientation. This doesn't work out to be very pretty in 3d.

Yeah even though the moves are all the same in 4d space, some of them get complex in 3d space.
