The Karavan and Kami altars are not just convenient nodes. They are expressions of presence. What you invoke to get from where you are to the altar is a pact between you and the operators of the altar (Karavan followers or Kami followers). That is one reason why they are not transferable. It's a personal pact, not a bearer note.
What I would like to see (and it comes up regularly, I know) is the ability to craft in one's apartment without loading the mats from the shelves/cupboards into your pack. We can do it out of the saddlebags on the packers, why not in the apartment?
