Well since Civ the computer game took a number of ideas from the 1980 board game of the same name, I'm not surprised. And as a big player of Eurogames ("designer" board games) I have no problem with this.
Civ is an abstract game; it's never going to be anything like realistic - it's not...
"Realism" and "Civ" are not even remotely connected - and of course, nor should they be. Civ is all about abstraction. How could it possibly be otherwise?
I guess that the builders represent construction resources that you have to firstly acquire, then move into position before finally exploiting. So it's more like a combination of logistics and resources - seems like a reasonable game mechanic to me.
I started with Civ I. I actually very much enjoyed Civ V after its expansion, and play it instead of any previous versions.
From what I've seen so far of Civ VI, I'm going to like that even better!
A PR Stunt is a "planned event designed to attract the public's attention to the event's organizers or their cause".
So no, this is manifestly not a PR stunt. However, perhaps the OP just misused the phrase, and really meant something else, such as "marketing spin".
