Why in the name of Nergigante can I not rest in the hub?

Because the Rest function relies on having changing weather patterns to work.
Grand Hub doesn't have weather patterns. Same with Suja.

It is a multiplayer hub. You must not manipulate time while in a multiplayer hub.

why cant we have the departing airship come to the hub
tbh all things should be accessible from the hub

becuase of silly gimmicks the devs added with out thinking how it works ! so in one area you cant rest czo it would break their system lol imagine having a different season down the road from you ! the whole fake open world is such a joke in this game!

I mean just let me choose which location weather to change, If I can literally travel to other area, change weather and go back to the hub just allow me to streamline that process...

The devs are extremely insistent that you must like the ugly camps and weather effects by sticking around in those areas instead of the hub.

There is no different weather in the grand hub.

Time seems to advance between all regions simultaneously though. Like if I do a hunt in the forest, monsters in the desert may have left by the time I'm done. So there's some universal unit of time that could be advanced.

The camps in every region are multiplayer but this isn't an issue there.

Main camps — yes. Whole region — no, 'cause you need connect to shared world

The grand hub needs to be on a consistent time for the Diva to be synced up to players.

Sure... but that isn't how Rest works. It works by picking a time of day and weather condition in your current region. And even though you can choose NOT to change the weather condition, for some stupid reason you still need the weather condition to be changeable in the region to even have the option to change anything.
It is stupid, but that is how it works.

I'm gonna be completely honest here: I LIVE in the Crimson Forest main camp. I just like it there. It is cosy in a way none of the other locations are.
I don't touch Suja nor the Grand Hub not only because of the lack of Rest option but because Alma doesn't stay put and I don't want to have to go hunting her down to be able to launch quests.
