This was likely the funnest stuff to do.
I'm sure it had it's problems.
BUT LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS.

+1
If I can keep my cows inside, I should be able to build bonfires/barter stands and _maybee_ coops/wagons.

They took away my indoor wagons and ovens.

I think the issue though is people like snail here and me would not use this for beautiful things, but rather to shove even more stuff inside our towers. (Don't forget the guy with a tower in his tower basement.)

It does look good though.

While this is true, I don't see why anybody would dislike that... For me personally, the only thing it would change is I'd no longer so heavily rely on the underground, and especially underground rivers for crafting stations. I could make my linen in a house !

If the reason for these objects to not be constructable in houses is immersion, I'd argue:
1) The people who wouldn't like this wouldn't see it, and the people who do it wouldn't be at any kind of large advantage;
2) There are other far more immersion breaking things that nobody seems to care about (EX: keeping all of your lifestock on one tile inside a house, goods teleportion based logistics networks, etc).

If the reason against it is it'd reduce production inefficiency, I'd point out:
1) The only industry it'd have any effect on is cheese(barter stands), and the difference would be small - just allow for prettier layouts to still be efficient;
2) Anything else that would gain any kind of production boost could simply be placed underground with the same access to all of this industry;
3) It doesn't matter anyway because bots.

But perhaps there's a big, obvious reason why it'd be bad that I'm missing. It tends to be the case my mind is changed whenever J&L post disagreeing with a suggestion/critique :?

Oh, yeah, and pretty things are cool I guess

Yeah I already know this would break underground living. basiclly live on level 5 make a farm...

But if they had someway of letting a house know it was on level 5 to stop such a thing...

They don't decay in caves, they just take damage when you put them down in caves. If you let them sit around they won't decay.
