Well you have to pay twice no? Once for the first plot and once for the second.
Also i don’t think relocaters get advantage on any new plots. Just plots with timers.
But yes not really a downside if you have the Gil. An advantage in my cases.

Have you ever thought that people may have had something happen in real life that had kept them from logging in? Just because someone doesn't log in, doesn't mean they weren't using their house.
Take it from someone who had a large and used it every day until something happened that kept me from logging in and lost it.
Also, your correct about housing items and gil, but only if you login within 30 days (?) to pick it up from the NPC. Otherwise, it all get deleted. Gil, housing items (even mogstation items bought with real money).
A big advantage of relocating is you get to do so at a discount. And another is that you can bypass the timer entirely. So yes, they get an advantage on any plots recently demolished as well as newly added ones since they can pick and choose at a discount and without limits.
I think it's because people think it's the least aesthetically pleasing location. I have seen some bad plot locations though, there's this one I was looking at yesterday, on the side of a cliff, pretty much surrounded by walls.
For me, I just want to move, because my City State is Gridannia, so I should have a home in Gridania. I would make an exception for expansion housing though.
Well, I realized that I don't craft:

Nor do I want to spend a ton of gil decorating my house right now. Better than leaving it empty! Gotta level up my crafters, for another reason now!
You can also get some furnishings for relatively cheap by doing beast tribe dailies to level your crafting. A win/win.
Like this one.

Truly magnificent.
Oh yeah, I've been putting off leveling crafting for years. That beast tribe in particular has some really nice items. Love that, and I LOVE the mount they give too. I've missed out on quite a few desirable beast tribe items, because I don't craft. Looks like housing will now be added to the list.
This isn’t even my final form.
