If they were to add instanced housing and keep the wards, there would be a lot of elitism over who has the "legacy" housing, hosting events at an instanced house probably wouldn't fill either, they'd want to pack into a ward instead. Everyone would still fight over the remaining wards. It's either all or nothing, get rid of all wards and go instanced or keep their current way of releasing a new area and new wards once every 2 years.
There can't be both even though there is both? Well, actually there is only instanced housing, but some comes in a pseudo neighborhood wrapping. Thing is there are people who like the pseudo neighborhood and feel that is superior. And there are others who feel a fully instanced (including a yard with gardening) experience is superior. You can't get elitist about having a pickle with a person who hates pickles and is perfectly happy with their cucumber.
