If you want the WTC to have some sort of gravitas it should be played at the game's spiritual home.
If you move it around it takes some of the symbolic significance from it. It's not like a WC where the host country benefits from a whole tourney's worth of matches - the lead up to the WTC final is already played everywhere across the world.
No one is going to run back into the shed after qualifying for the final and say "You beauty boys, we're off to the big dance in..... Harare." FMD if you want it to represent the pinnacle of the game's longest form, play it at the ground with the most historical significance to the sport. It's one test every touring cycle. Suck it up and play it there.
