I was a bit disappointed that my level 3 advanced industrial Observatory didn't really have any function other than happiness, however, this happiness buff isn't even unique as the brewery adv. industrial plot produces drinks and also gives the same amount of happiness.

I think that some sort of rare scrap production could be added to the Observatory, since settlers would use it and be able to observe and find falling objects and crash sites. Or there could be interaction with the terminal to perform experiments or missions and they result in some reward or resource production.

Additionally, you know how the Brewery has a ton of different recipes to make custom drinks? Why not add a similar mechanic to the Hydration Research Lab? Allow us to make things other than nuka cola melons after the research quest. We could fuse together food items and create new things.

Or just causes other plots to upgrade faster. That would be a sufficient upside too.

How does an Observatory cause plots to upgrade faster?
Umm...

hahahaha, it could happen. That's what Heather says :search
 
It has another very important function, but you obviously haven't discovered it yet. You'll need a few other plots to trigger it, but it's very, very worth it once completed.

Yes, but afterwards? What is preventing you from just tearing it down after the thing?

Nothing really. Personally, I'd leave it because it looks good. Not every settlement needs a brewery for happiness ...
