I mean... hobbits fundamentally are warm, earth-bound people. Much of what we saw was at their "eye-level", so to speak. It makes sense, from a filmmaking perspective, that we'd see more warmth and detail up close. The other places were hand built and not all CGI, though. They were sets and props all with art direction. None of them are as warm as the hobbit houses and gardens. Maybe some of the Rohan architecture (Edoras specifically) comes close. The Rohirrim seem like a much warmer people with their halls and great fires, mead and roasts on a spit. Gondor is white tower and cobblestone; marble and granite.

I think they don't receive quite as much attention to detail because our protagonist is not a human. It's a hobbit. We need to identify with Frodo (and Bilbo) more than anyone else, despite that there is an ensemble of characters. I don't see these things you've mentioned as a lack of care, but rather filmmaking choices.
