Rarely is it so black and white, as you suggest.

So if you have friends on different empires on the same server you would turn around to one group of friends and say:

"Sorry guys, my other group of fiends are more important than you so I'll be playing with them, kthxbai"

My outfit in PS is made up of players originally from each empire, would you say that we never deserved to play together due to some misguided idea that 1 empire per server is necessary for balance?

There are ways to maintain balance that do not require limiting the players options.
