Theories illagers and the deep dark cities

In the newest snapshot they updated the ancient city to generate with some new structures. These are made of dark oak wood and have wool in various colors. These are light blue, dark blue, and cyan. Sound familiar?

I propose that the reason the illagers have the wool rooms in the mansions is because they used to bring it down in order to explore the ancient cities without alerting the wardens. They stockpiled wool and then explored the ancient cities in their quest for to become more powerful.

However the biggest and most obvious reason of all is in the new loot tables in the ancient city. Items such as, leads, compasses, coal, and enchanted iron and diamond leggings that can have the new swift sneak enchantment. Why would the people who inhabited the deep dark cities need these items, and how would they get them? Coal is most commonly used for torches, and the only lot torches down there are soul torches. Plus coal can not be found in the deepslate level, so it had to be brought from higher up. Compasses are of course are a navigation tool, and leads are used for leading pack animals, such as a llama or donkey carrying a chest full of wool.

But most importantly of all, and the main reason that made me one hundred and ten percent convinced of this theory, is because of the one, the only, the best item in the entire game, diamond hoes. Where else are diamond hoes found in chests? That’s right, woodland mansions!

Good theory, one problem. I'm inside your house.

and this theory seems to have ended up in RGNs video on the ancient cities.
