The banner zone tag can be put in any template, so you can have it in the top bar (tiki-topbar.tpl), bottom bar (tiki-botbar.tpl), or tiki.tpl to place the banner in the midsection of the page (at the risk of elbowing into the column display area). Since the tag is placed in templates, you can also add it specifically to one Tiki feature's pages, such as the Directory or Blogs. It does take a bit of understanding of what a template file is doing, in order to put the tag in the right place, but shouldn't take long to figure that out. Put it at the very top or bottom or just outside of a "section".
Secondly, banners can be put in modules. In this way they can either go in the left or right column, or into one or more wiki pages via the module plugin.
I haven't tested banners much recently but this is the designed behavior. What other placement flexibility are you looking for?
> Moving a module or having multiple versions of a module all over the place is doable with the Dynamic Content System (DCS) feature so this should be doable also with banners
It's probably dangerous to make this kind of assumption. 
If different people made the features, using different code/approaches, they might well work differently.

The flexibility is already there, I believe.
