Sure, Artisan helps a bit in the beginning, and it’s good for afk’ing with engineers, and scientist/philosopher are super helpful, but… the gold honestly seems more useful, and both of the other options at that cost seem better, especially in longer games. Eventually, the leader bonuses like Artisan just seem to be a minuscule fraction of the things they’re providing bonuses to.
Am I just misunderstanding something, or underestimating how monarchy works?

I think you probably have a perfect understanding of how Monarchy works. But you arent as far in the game as the people who like it. There is a point in the game where kitten jobs and basic resources are basically totally worthless but the Leader bonuses still provide a slight advantage.
