The main argument was already given. I see no way this proposal could be accepted personally.
You lose drive for working on other digs if you can use one regions' mats for everything. Of course that is what the prime roots are for too. The thing with the prime roots though is that it is more of a challenge and you work to get those universal mats. Digging through weather and aggro to get it. There's no challenge if you can get that in other regions such as Void which is extremely safe digging.
The only reason I mastered all five digs is so I could craft all the different racial armors for what would be preferred. I do love digging but I doubt I would have started a new dig if I could use the mats for everywhere safely.
It doesn't matter how it is in real life. There needs to be drive to dig in other regions.
Ran out of room....Responding to your second idea in another post...
