Most other games terrain is filled with little objects and other 'shiny' distracting things - the copy paste becomes harder to tell / less often. SE was just blatantly obvious, specially since it hardly relied on any 'shiny' objects but the actual land itself. But I agree its not a unique feature of FFXIV, specially in games without long loadtimes where using the same land group saves a lot of time.
