I am sorry if I am not getting your logic here, but I can see Liadrin's point - but your point seems a bit out of focus on what you are trying to argue.
If Squee weren't off their rocker, they would design personal housing in a way that a small, basic one is provided free (or extremely cheap) to everyone, with larger/different upgrades available for gil/rep/whatever.
There's a certain MMO where I've got five dimensions (though two can only be active and accessible at any given time). One is a small, simple location that was provided after completing an introductory quest about dimensions. Another I got with rep. Another I got by completing dailies during a world event to collect a certain number of that world event's token currency - no plat spent there at all! Two more were loyalty rewards. There are dozens more, some available with plat, others during world events, and so on. And that's just the base dimension; I can't even begin to describe the sheer magnitude and creative breadth of the items you can place in them and how you can arrange them.
Twin got a dimension recently that looks like this as a base:
He's currently working on building a chapel over the lake, complete with a stained glass window (colors made from candles, bolts of cloth, books, and other objects).
Oh, and talk about creative freedom! All those things in the screenshots? Created through creative placement, rotation, and resizing of various dimension items.
Yea... Squee can call me when they've put actual work into their housing system.
