Because “ehi, do not make bases too big: they make server crash and don’t leave space for other players” but “ehi, look at this needlessy big map room you absolutely need to not waste 10 minutes of travel across the map !”
But the problem is not building big … the problem is building NEEDLESSY BIG.
You need a HUGE plaza to place the Map Room. Even bigger if you want to be able to walk around it and make an acceptable looking base. Same for temples.
A normal sizen plaze (4x5) can contain it, but the look is terrible. You neet at least 6x6 or 6x7 to have a good look.

If you know how to build a 7x7 Map Room, there is no reason you won’t be able to make a smaller version of it, especially considering that just the pillars are “functioning”.
@Lucidique and what if you have a round base ?
Have fun placing those things…
