Oblivion's alternate provinces were randomly generated, so they were unique for every player who crossed the mountains out of Cyrodill. Skyrim has pre-made (or pre-generated?) terrain that is the same for every one who plays Skyrim. That's the difference.
I'm not going to deny how much I would love to see these other places in Skyrim, but it seems as though, besides Cyrodill, none of the other provinces are completely there anyway. High Rock, and Hammerfell are cut off, so is Morrowind, big time. Black Marsh might all be there... But the Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit lands were all not even included. If I was traveling in High Rock, I would hate to run into an invisible wall, it would ruin the entire purpose of having that terrain there IMO.
