All of this makes me think it is not necessarily an uncommon position but also an exceptional quality and beauty of the performance that makes a spin (or in fact, any element) ultimately unique and unforgettable.
Here are some spins praised as "divinity in motion" by no less than Travis Payne, a choreographer who worked with Micheal Jackson himself.
Some truly valid recognition coming from an outside expert who surely knows a thing or two about dance and performance qualities
And a pun on one of MJ's titles, BTW
And a link to just one of those spins he admired so much

Thank you with reminding me this extraordinary spin with his fist knocking the ice in rhythm! I don't think that it had ever been done, and has ever been done after him? I put the start before the Triple Axel because it was an uninterrupted sequence of 3A + Lounge + Windmill + CSSP4:

I thought about this and came to a conclusion that under IJS uncommon spins become common ones, and those form 6.0 did too, like Irina Slutskaya's bielman on both feet would impress no one today. Also, that I would any day prefer a really good basic camel position to all sorts of uncommon ones.
Nevertheless, I'll mention one: Ilia Klimkin's 3S out of a spin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dxn_t1A9HA&t=110
Here is another interesting spin from Joseph siblings in 1965: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVxnxvLHT8s&list=PLWGRcPSwJJgG78Z-glr58ELdGiULBXtJK&t=241 (@ 1:50 there is also an interesting axel jumps combination)

I don't think I have seen anyone but Josée do these little hops on a spin...
this was one of her great performances if you want to watch it all... but I timestamped it for the spin
