I think Emmet's characterization in the beginning of the movie and his involvement in the resistance and touching the piece reflects Finn's perception of how his dad wants him to behave and making Emmet a construction worker already gives him a little leeway into the creativity of construction which could provide Finn catharsis of creativity but still rigid enough to follow the orders of his higher ups aka his dad
