Main reason is that maps simply don't have enough safe resorces for their civ bonus to kick in.
Also, still because of maps the meta is more focused on early military presence and they struggle at that. On EP meta is different for a number of reasons so they can get away without that much of military presence. Still btw the simple availability of safe resources already improves that aspect.
An again, I proposed +100f at start so that they always age at 13v idleless. This translates in more efficiency which means they can mirror what similar civs do, despite having no vill shipments.
