Hi and welcome to TESO!

And anytime
I do. And the theories have been posed in several hundred (yes literally hundred) threads about the same topic.
Zenimax/Bethesda just do not want a serverwide auction house. The interwebz have known about it for at least a year now, and they got some serious criticism about it, and they still did not change it at launch.
I would just sit back, enjoy the ride and see where it takes you. Try what they are selling, and see if it works. In a couple of months if it doesn't work out, then perhaps another course of action would be deemed appropriate.
