I heard yields are horrible for immature nodes. I kind-of hate this, but at the same time, it might be brilliant. Make the mining ASIC on the immature process to work out the bugs for prime time.

Do they do this because the Mining chips can still be usable with large damaged sections ?

If its used only for crypto miners, its an irrelevant process. Let them make a smartphone SOC or a GPU on the node before calling it a win. It does not look like Qualcomm will be using it for 8 gen 2 either. So we have to wait and see when Samsung makes a mobile SOC with the new process.
