Aesthetics: They look out of place.  Realism: They represent
proto-civilisations, and ice caps are not friendly places. Gameplay:
It's a big free pot of gold for the first player to scour the
ice-caps. Compat: AFAICR, the paycivs didn't have them there.

everything goes down with it... the only units I could imagine
surviving are helicopters, and AFAIK we don't have
helicopters-on-boats working properly.
