Here in Israel, since both the first and the last day of Pesach is a yom tov (chag), the first day is often called “Rishon shel Pesach”, and the seventh and last day “Acharon shel Pesach”. Pesach has bookend yomim tovim, ימי מקרא קודש , first and last. Neither Shavuos nor Succos own this phenomenon. It’s quite rational.

I hope this clarifies it for you. If it does, you can put the negativity aside, it’s quite unbecoming.
