Aesthetically it isn't that pleasant to look at either because it's very very empty. There's some NPCs but for large stretches of it there's no reason to go anywhere near it except for the odd occasion where you get to see how your work helped them build a farm.

It's just this big place that's sitting there, rotting, and only used for a quick buck or to hop over to gangos.
And? How much of the game world do you actually regularly use? Most of my time in the recent towns outside the story is the tiny marketplace area, or aetherite to turn in relic stuff. Most of the game world has little use outside the shopping district once you are done with the story content.
