I always assumed the general argument is if you need to query different
databases on the same server with the same application, they ought not
to be separate databases because they're clearly related data.

It's kinda like "why isn't there a way to do an exactly one to exactly
one relationship between tables?".  Well, because if one A always means
one B and one B always means one A, shouldn't they ought to be in the
same table already?

I guess, nobody has a real interest on that because, if you really
need that, there are work arounds ... E.g. I do a lot of cross
database queries all the day with my apps. It's just handled by the
app server ...
