Having a thumb hole and a register key and the hop skip and jump across the 12th break and trill keys and alternative pinky fingerings for both hands and the range of alto sax and sop, it's no wonder the saxophone came along. The switch from clarinet to saxophone comes as a blessed relief. Switching the other way round must be a shock to the system.
