I don't know, honestly. Although the game was released with an apparent focus on making it more accessible and less demanding on players, since that time every trend, and every hint toward what they believe their players want, is more time investment, making things more difficult to get, and ultimately the establishment of this concept that for something to be valuable it must be rare. Whether we're talking about relic weapons, augmented armor, or housing the entire premise of the game is to make things that players really want rare, ostensibly so that those who have it feel more value in their "accomplishment".
The way housing has been handled seems, to me, to be entirely in line with this sort of thinking. I would not count on it being unintended, or the consequence of necessary system limitations.
This game is not about making anything fun or desirable easily accessible to the player base.
Just a note, I'm not really complaining, I've made my peace with the nature of FF and find that I love the game for the role-players here, and the community we've made
I'm just adding an observation that I've made before about the design philosophy that's gone into FF since the first major patches of Realm Reborn. I'm not really interested in housing one way or another, but I do hope that they find a solution that makes more people happy.
