No, I understand why players find it ridiculous. Quite frankly, I'm one of them. It's why I keep pushing for improved instanced housing. It's been proven in many other MMOs to work. No player that wants housing goes without. No player has to settle for a tiny housing location they don't really like because another player already owns what they really want to have. You don't see the housing availability complaints in those games that you see here.

But it doesn't change the reality of how the housing system in this game works, which is little different from real life. When you can't get a house where you live, you move to where they're available if you want one that badly. If you're not willing to move, then it's obviously not important to you.

The addition of data center travel means moving to another world would be similar to moving to an adjacent county for a house. You still get to see your friends but it's going to be less frequent than in the past when you had a chance of bumping into them on the street. Or maybe not - could be you're still "working" in your old county so you can visit them after work on a regular basis. There's not anything stopping you from talking with your friends at any time through the various social media platforms and Discords, same as real life.

Take advantage of what reality is offering, or be miserable because you can't get your fantasy. The choice is yours in the end. When something is important to me, I take advantage of what I can get at the same time I ask for continued improvements.
