The appeal is that Humankind did it and they’re trying to ape the mechanic from that game, even though nobody liked it in that one either.

Oh great. I haven't played Humankind but the Civ games have been facing some stiff competition lately. I can't really blame them for trying to pull in new mechanics. It'd be nice if they were good ones though.
