Simple Suggestion: Require De Jure Drift to be bordering the target Kingdom/Empire

[User29]

Random de jure French provinces in Germany and etc. If a direct border is too much then at LEAST require a bordering sea province.

I know many of you already have heard or suggested this before, any reason this ISN'T a good idea?

EDIT: Adjustments so far

If an empire crusades for kingdom of Jerusalem from say HRE and holds it a century it is clearly their de jur territory.

How about Empire Tier titles just needing coastline as should the target kingdom.

and by coastline the same "ocean" coastline, since not sharing a mutual body of water is as good as being landlocked.

No. I love wacky de jure drift. Also, if you first conquer duchy 1 which borders your kingdom, and from there take duchy 2 that doesn't, why should that second duchy take 200 years instead? Drift times are long enough as is.

then why not just require bordering another duchy drifting, that way you could drift whole kingdoms into your kingdom at a time. Say Tengri Turkestan taking all of Khiva at once would have all the duchies begin to drift since they all either border Turkestan or border a duchy drifting into Turkestan.

I mean, why is this a problem?

It isn't. Italian Koln and French Saxony(both without any border of the rest of the kingdom

These are the problems.
