OCE is still connected to NA because the OCE logical data center was originally hosted at the LA physical data center before the OCE physical data center was added. Blizzard moved the entire logical data center so it was composed of realms that already had mostly healthy populations.

If OCE was treated as a separate region by Blizzard like SE does instead of it being considered part of NA, OCE and NA players wouldn't be able to play together there, either, just as NA players can't play with EU players unless they purchase a separate EU game license or Asia unless they purchase a separate Asia license.

At least with FFXIV, it's a single game license regardless of whether you want to play on JP, OCE, EU or NA. Only CN/KR remain completely separated.
I said similar, not world queues, which would meant playing with people in OCE and JP for example. WoW allows you to join groups from all kind of servers within NA/OCE, at least 50 different ones.
