The problem is that it involves rotation

Everything is whizzing along and rotating around a point which in turn is rotating around another point which in turn ... and so on and so on...

The factor you missed out is "frame of reference". Inside a suitably large station the rotation would be barely noticeable. Although they would need to be careful about where they put the windows, the view from a spinning platform could be a bit vertiginous.
