As a four-time FTC World Championship attendee (all four years FTC was in the Dome), I definitely support keeping the programs together. For me, the most amazing thing about Worlds is not just the bringing together of the top FTC teams, but also being a part of the whole FIRST championships; super-regionals offers a similar caliber of competition, but the experience is notably lesser off the filed.
To end with a post of mine from last year:

One of the biggest things that made the World Championship so special and different from other tournaments, like super-regionals, was the opportunity to see and interact with FRC teams and robots, and by splitting the programs, the FTC championships immediately feel less big and magical.
