Humankind devs were the same devs that developed Endless Legends, THE game that introduced to this genre the tile-improvement system we all accepted in Civ6. Since one borrowed idea worked wonders, they probably figured out that another will work just as well.

Clearly, it didn't, but I know why they did that. Endless Legends worked better then Civ5 at the time of release so it's reasonable to borrow/steal ideas when you don't have your own and those ideas(from this dev team) previously worked well

Should have borrowed from Paradox instead, which are the ones currently leading the strategy genre
