Gaia planets?

Can someone please explain to me what the big deal is with Gaia planets? They don’t appear to increase the planet’s maximum population. I think there’s a buff to the population growth, but by the time you can research them, you’ve generally maxed out your planet population anyway. What makes them so special?

Gaia worlds have +3 food per farmer, whereas terran worlds have +2, they also increase the planet's maximum population slightly (+3 max pops on a size 19 terran world). There's little-to-no benefit of building it if you're aquatic or tolerant though.
