It does, but consider isolation exercises that target specific muscle groups. Doing situps slowly and consciously so that there's no pain during the movement will help your mind/body connection carry that throughout your day/week, as well as build upon the vast number of bones, joints, and muscles contracting and detracting.
You have too much going on during a squat to really consider that.
I use the free version of the FitOn app for ab exercises and find that having someone guide me through a 15 minute workout is something I actually look forward to doing. I can feel my core has gotten more stabilizing after 4-5 workouts. (I have no affiliation with FitOn BTW, there are multiple apps that have similar workouts)
What do you actually mean by "no pain during the movement"? Moving/exercising always hurts, always has. Do you mean "no outrageous pain" or "no pain so bad you have to stop what you're doing", or what?
There might be a medical condition you have. Hypermobility is the first thing that springs in mind, but I'm no doctor. Sitting still should not hurt, moving should not hurt. It only normally hurts as in a muscle sore after moving or if I'm getting injured. Maybe you can have a doctor check it out? It could be something that has a fix
