You could do some interesting things with those ports, they were usable as a bad A/D for other things like voice, light levels, etc. - anywhere you needed to input an analog signal and get a digital output but yes. They were trash.
I seem to remember a CoCo DIN to Atari 9-pin converter at some point, where you could just plug a regular joystick in.
