Common sense. Most cities would have more important things to agree with first (such as reciprocal treaties and the like). Considering that such things are currently handled by the Empire, that is a very large boundary.
Secondly the device being resorted to here (I cast your magic for you in my city while you do it for me) goes far beyond the known levels of sharing magic in Runequest, Herowars or Heroquest. The known analogies of the river cults and the grain goddesses make it clear that initiates can transfer their worship easily while higher-ups have problems. For city-cults there is the additional hurdle of becoming a citizen in such circumstances.
