I think it‘s different enough to scratch a different itch from time to time. Sure, the general setting and some basic mechanics are similar to AoE2‘s, but overall the game plays very differently. For example, I really like that there are fundamental differences in the play styles of different civilizations. I‘d really recommend giving AoE4 a shot, if you want to play an RTS besides AoE2.

In all seriousness, why would I want to invest in this rather than something like Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition?

Was soooo excited for this game after a two decade wait.
Crushing disappointment. Didn't even play it for an hour
