Symmetrical effect was definitely an intentional decision early on, since you also have things like Venser's Sliver that was deliberately designed to leech effects from opposing Slivers while being too expensive and useless to bother with in an actual Sliver deck, or that one Sliver that actually DEbuffs all Slivers. But as is often the case, the flavor came at a pretty horrible cost to the fun and playability of the cards, so modern slivers became one-sided

Somewhat of a lore reason for that, interestingly! Basically, the Overlord formed from the Mirari's magic fusing several slivers together making an abomination that could serve as a hivemind focus and little else. That said, Slivir Queen also doesn't benefit other slivers.

First sliver is amazing, but I still prefer Overlord as my commander, because I can grab first sliver when I'm ready

The new sliver is pretty trash. If you're running a sliver commander deck, the only one good enough to run is overlord. Queen is kinda meh, it requires too much setup, however overlord just tutors whatever sliver you need over and over. Makes the whole deck hyper consistent. First sliver is ok, but it still doesn't hold a candle to overlord. Being able to tutor up haste, mana, hexproof, etc. It's far and away the best as a commander.
