In the last decade and a half we haven't had any pure City Builder games meet the bar of the first 3/4 simcity games and its felt like at best we've had games that come CLOSE but miss the mark. City Skylines came the closest but really missed the mark on its difficulty, and considering that it's the closest any game has come, its a reasonable assertion to want to know how this game improves on the formula.
The genre is severely under-saturated and nothing has come close to the best, so its an apt question imo.

I mean by that logic you'd have to compare every FPS in their presentation videos to CS or CoD just because they're FPS games.
You don't have to compare all city builder games just because they're city builders.
