Freezing regions/duchies/realms is considerably more work than freezing an island, and not just because you have to do it multiple times. Its just....a mess. Also, you'd have to determine *which* regions/duchies/realms to freeze, then deal with accusations of favoritism and bias.
I don't look forward to this, at all, but I'd rather play a game with higher density than have all the islands. Those who played prior to 2007 likely understand this well. And I have reasons for liking all the islands too, due to the background I've built for my new family. We should be content with the fact that Tom is only freezing the islands and not deleting them completely like the war islands were.
