It seems like the limitation is in place because the servers do not communicate to each other well enough. This is essentially the reason they are being replaced in 2.0. So no, from what I've read it's not as easy as just removing the restrictions, they also must completely overhaul the server structure first.
Its not really a good excuse when you can kick + invite into party from any region. (Which used to be restricted in beta).

There must be more, or the linkshell system must just be seriously locked down and completely broken.

How it got this bad i have no idea, it wasnt 1-2 developers fault, there are plenty of people who worked on it, and all of them broke something so simple, so bad.
