While that may be true in some cases, in other cases it may lead to games
that are  "almost 1HOUSE"  and that may even work better removing those
artificial elements... but you're right: now it's not the time to change the
rules... Let's hope that people do games that really need 2 sets, else
newcomers to the system that bought a second set to play more games may feel
a bit cheated :)
