Basically, they did it this way because they can build it on-top of what they already have without risking breaking things. It took WoW years and years before they could finally implement the current transmog system, precisely because it wasn't very easily-solved (as they explained; they brought in people from the D3 team to help them figure it out). I mean, the design of what's wanted is simple, but the implementation is complex if your game, its database, and its netcode wasn't built for that from the start.

It's the same with all the inventory systems they've added; they're basically band-aids to give people a more capacity while respecting the fundamental limitations of the game's current coding. Because of how fundamental something like inventory is to the basic functioning of the game, a full rewrite would be a massive undertaking. Maybe some day they'll have to do it anyway, but it's very high risk.
