Exactly. It's essentially a sandbox city builder with some highway optimisation thrown in. SimCities 4 was more fun because it was more challenging and felt more like a game, rather than a sandbox.

There are so many interesting gameplay things Skylines could do to be more fun for me like:

1. Subway optimization, e.g faster train cost more but people get to their destination faster, slower trains allow for shorter distances between stations.

2. Parking optimization, e.g. building with parking costs more (because more land has to be bought), but allows people to travel to the place in

3. Low vs high taxes, nanny state or pure capitalism? How would that affect the economy and people's satisfaction?
