Do you have any design insight as to why squirming emergence can’t return a land to the battlefield?

Many players misunderstand the mana value of a land, so since the functionality of returning a land is low, we remove it as an option to avoid the confusion.

Why can't Squirming Emergence hit lands?

It’s either a play design concern or an avoiding confusion issue, as many players have trouble understanding how mana values interact with lands.
