I think it's an attempt to create a differentiating feature.

In other games with this feature (e.g. Tavern Master), I used it a couple of times just to check out my Tavern in first person, but that's about it.

Now if there were additional gameplay element built around that, it would be a different story.

Not only additional gameplay, but in the actual gameplay. Otherwise it'd just be another game(-play). I think we agree here.

Indeed. One idea for Tavern Master would be to play as the host (you can organise parties for royalty, knights, explorers etc in the game) in first person mode to accomplish semi-optional progression tasks and gain unlocks.

Instead, it's just a first person view. Nice to check out when you have a new tavern design, but that's about it.
