The reasoning behind adding Map Ban is because community members wanted a bit more power over which maps they play. For Ranked players, there are a select few that they really enjoy playing, like Coast, Club House, etc so that's why you're probably only getting those maps in your games.
If we reduced the Ranked map pool to those maps only, I feel like that would only increase the frustrations of a "stale" map pool, which I think would be even less productive. Map Ban allows players to pick from a curated selection of maps including a few non-PL maps so there's more variety.
