You could suggest just add market boards to Mor Dhona and Idyllshire, but SE has already decided against this long ago to prevent player congestion. Imagine if Mor Dhona and Idyllshire had a market board. Now imagine what it would look like on largely populated servers like Balmung and Gilgamesh, and that's just NA servers. The JAP servers have even more players. The game would be completely unplayable in those areas since the amount of people would cause massive frame drops and crashes, and why pay for a game you can't play?
As someone with 8 retainers, I think the way they are now is good enough. You just need to organize your stuff so you don't have to go through 3+ retainers to get what you want.
