As farming now has a massive competetion going on in being able to obtain a house, using the islands is a very viable way to negate that issue. The more places in which you can farm, the lower the effect of a house becomes. Even if you have only 2 appartments and the island, if that gives enough farming, then even those with a mansion are gaining relatively less. 2 vs 10 or 6 vs 14 gives those who have less a higher relative value.

Sure, it could make the farmable items worth less, but thats not an issue because some farmable items are always useful, and it could even be compensated in a diffirent way (higher consume rates in recipes).
