So to see that I can leave Primal and join a data center that has the world a friend of mine is on (which was previously in Aether) makes me look forward to hopping over to Crystal when the time comes.

The fracturing is up to the people who I guess don't care enough about their friends to join them. It's not that deep.
Pretty much this.
Its an inconvenience, but you can move servers without losing much. Even if you own a house, you can store your furniture in retainers, get a full refund plus 3mil, and because of the upheaval there's bound to be empty plots coming up on your destination server.

The only issue I see is if you have several friends all on different servers, soon to be different datacentres, and the choice of which friends to stick with.
If those friends are all friends with each other, you should be able to come to a group arrangement.
If not then you've got problems.
