A nexus portal is in a specific place, and to use it, you have to travel there. Travelling long distances rapidly and inconspicuously is impractical in a great many worlds, but putting nexus portals in handy places for a plot line strains credibility if it happens at all often.
In Infinite Cabal, which was mainly set in the UK, the characters knew of a site that was a nexus in many worlds (
Wookie Hole Caves) but they never went there.
