How so?   Perhaps some of the surface features are slightly questionable and may nor be most typical of what would be encountered on each of those bodies, but what do you think is distinctly wrong?

Besides the sun fluctuating in size out of proportion to their distance (up to and including increasing in size between Uranus and Neptune)?

Also, just as you can see a beautiful sunset from an airplane on earth, it doesn’t require a surface for there to be a beautiful view of the sun from a planet.

True, but outside Saturn's rings hardly counts as being in Saturn's atmosphere.

And no, you don't need a surface to see a beautiful view of the sun, but it certainly helps for the sort of photos we come to expect from the first four images, especially if we want to send a probe to someplace like Jupiter to see what the view is like from there.
