I like playing inca in the standard fashion (kamayuks and slingers are cool, etc.), but they already felt a bit underwhelming, having average ecobonuses and no military bonuses. And not only did they now lose their strong gimmick, they also lost a lot when playing normally, as their villagers are easier to kill in feudal raids in normal games. Considering the civ was more or less completely ignored in hidden cup, frequently reverse drafted in 2 pools, and now is weaker at it's only strong gimmick AND weaker at playing normally it seems extremely weird to me that they got no compensation elsewhere for that nerf.
