But yeah, the eastern pig wheat city is certainly better and they should have left room for it. All the copper city needed to accomplish for right now was connecting copper, which it could have done as effectively one space west as you suggested.
They were talking about it being a commerce site (well Classical Hero was), and IMO 1W is much stronger as a commerce site, simply due to lake tiles giving both surplus food and decent commerce, allowing 1 1/2 extra tiles to be worked at least. One of the things I remember from base civ is that you grow a commerce city with farms before hitting the cottages, unless you're in food heaven.
