why is saiyan-saga considered separate...

[Fantastische Hure]

...even-tho almost all official merchandise & statements considers only 3 sagas?

Because the main villains - Nappa and Appule, are deserving of their own sagas.

the nappa saga :Appule:Appule:Appule

The full color manga draws a distinction between the Saiyan and Freeza sagas, I think the main reason it's not as popular as the other three post-23rd is because Vegeta became an anti-hero and then a genuine ally of Galu, plus it was revealed that Freeza was behind the Saiyans' destruction and most of the plot points from the Saiyan arc like Scouters and space travel carry directly into the Freeza saga.

so saiyan-saga is just with the freeza-saga

even in dragonball-kai, the poster, sets & stuff call just the freeza-saga, even-tho the poster also had vegeta so he is significant enough to be still highlighted exclusively

Because of Vegeta's popularity I think. He was over enough to have a saga on his own and separate from Freeza. Pretty impressive for Toriyama managed to create popular villains back to back.

Saiyan Saga is not its own saga though and Vegeta wasn’t the villain, because he was popular lol. He was kept around because he was popular.
