It's absolutely fair. Sims 4 apartment setup is literally just small lots suspended in the air and encased in an object built to look like a Sims 4 building. It's not like Sims 3's setup at all aside from the building shell to give it shape. The common area isn't even on a lot it's part of the shell, and each unit is a completely separate lot.
If they could have achieved Sims 2 style apartments the lot could still be suspended in the air and encased in a shell. They made a choice to offer lots that look like apartments in the city, and to make that less obvious they added a few 'gameplay' things that are restricted to a few apartments and can't be used anywhere else. The technology behind Sims 4's apartments is more of a lack of technology, because they function exactly like regular lots with severe restrictions.
