The idea behind this is that e.g. miri and cranelift don't know all of the llvm intrinsics (and adding them is possible but a lot of extra work). Using the generic simd function means logic only needs to be implemented once for all targets.
The
simd_saturating_*
functions generate the same instructions for the saturating add/sub operations https://godbolt.org/z/zc35doTc6
