Default Playing chord progressions like this?

I uploaded a pic of this exercise I found online. I guess what they are doing is playing through the c major scale and basing this progression on a one four five. every time they get to a one chord, four chord or five chord tone in the scale shape they play the chord that would be in the one four five. and do the the same with other progressions. all diatonic?would this be a good way to practice?

What's up with that? Why would they go to all of the trouble to create these exercises with arbitrarily placed diatonic chords without explaining the purpose? It is of some value to play through diatonic chord scales. Maybe this is an early exercise and in the next one they add the minor7's on ii iii and vi? The final exercise could have every scale degree including the minor7b5 for the vii?

But this one starts on the IV chord anyway?!? What's up with that?

I can see why the jimmy bruno 5 shape method would be more logical now.. otherwise you end up with lots of the same chord shapes repeating?

If you were harmonizing lydian, why would you harmonize the major chords? Sounds major, (ionian) doesn't it?
