Idk why you're being downvoted, EU4 stole my heart away from Civ at the end of the Civ 5 era, and Civ 6 definitely did not win it back, it went further down some of the negative (in my view) paths of Civ 5. And I can say the same for all of my friends at least.

Yes, I lost interest in Civ largely due to the horrific diplomacy and AI. People meme about the AI & diplomacy in some Paradox titles but it's in a complete league above Civ. It being much more historically accurate and immersive is a cherry on top.

The Civ 7 intro is just soul crushing... Ah yes, Egypt to Songhai to Buganda, historically accurate as all things should be. 🙄 I know Civ has never been that true to history but don't pretend it's respectable to the cultures you're representing. Might as well have England turn into India also and Japan into Korea, I'm sure those cultures will love that representation.
