It's not just you, I've said from Day One that Ferris abuses his gift of the gab and drags his so called "friends" along with him so that HE can look cool with a total loser and the total loser thinks HE has been elevated to the top of the pile by association.
Whereas all the along, Ferris manipulates every situation so that even if he's in a losing predicament, the OTHER guy is always going to take the fall.
It's almost like Back to the Future if you put Biff into the role of a hero and George being the hanger on, and yet in that movie, it's very clear who the hero/villain is.
But on the flip side, that film has stood the test of time whereas the other "classic" film of that era, Weird Science, is just too cringworthy to watch now.
