When stuff like a tacklebox is brought up, the developer says something like "if people need more space, we rather just add more inventory space". The thing is, I don't think people need more inventory space. That's not really the problem people have. I can say this as an omnicrafter with tokens for all sorts of content and furniture among other things on my retainers.

What people really don't like is inventory management. Which is a valid thing to not like. I would love crafting bags, tacklebox, dye storage, and other static-assigned inventory room. Island Sanctuary gave me hope they were testing that.
