It was a joke. "PS3 Limitations" is the popular joke on the forum for whenever SE can't or won't add something (or haven't added it already).
Whether it's a funny joke or not, that is still up for debate.
As to the OP, I agree. If anything, I feel like we should have gotten a third retainer for free just so we'd have one for each city, and THEN pay for extra ones, but that's just me. A bit of extra space on the current retainers wouldn't have hurt, especially if it was a small amount like 20 slots. SE made sure to have things take up as many slots as possible, so it isn't like they'd be losing potential sales for extra retainers.
But what can you do, SE knows they can squeeze money out of people, so they go straight for it.
Yeah it's a long running joke since SE used "PS2 limitations" as an excuse back in the day when they wanted to say "no". Also, no MMO gives "free additional space" these days, usually you need to buy it or do some asinine questline for it. Though XI gave us 2 free inventory/storage systems recently:
Mog Case
Porter Mog.
Something that should have existed in FFXIV ARR from the get go, but as we know, XIV community hates anything and everything FFXI.
