housing "bug"

I've had time to sit down and compile my thoughts as someone who has lost and witnessed a lot of different downfalls in the housing market.
the recent installment, albeit better than clicking a placard for 12 hours, has shown a fault not only just in the code but in the playerbase.
on one hand we have people threatening the devs and that's not okay, that doesn't show the great community that won a bloody award. and on the other, there's people who did win and believe it was legitimate, even though there's a blatant bug. The reason i'm bringing this into play is because this is the exact same as the people who currently own wards full of houses, and people who own multiple accounts and own houses by that means. It's a win, but it's a win and being grandfathered after "oops, problems occurred that weren't speculated", and a majority agree that the two mentioned in this sentence are not okay. So why is it okay for this bug to show up? now it's created even further influx cause as a community we're supposed to be happy for those who won. but how do we know they won?
I personally believe it better that the team came out and said "this was an intended feature to ensure the housing market didn't clean out in the first week." because Square is first and foremost a business, a business that knows housing is an important aspect; otherwise it wouldn't be plastered around on the front page and it most certainly wouldn't have outdoor housing in almost every seasonal event. So it would've been fine, everyone would've been understanding; but with the announcement that it's been made known a bug, now people are questioning "did i actually lose or would could i have won and because of this bug, i lost?"
I came into the lotto with the expectation of losing, so i was willing to shell off and take it, seeing the 0's as a chance to try again. but then it's a bug in the entire lotto system. I expect a lot of people to either fire off insults because I'm "just a sore loser"; but as i said, it's similar to the people who own multiple houses since it became private housing in 2.0 and the people who own multiple accounts and have multiple houses before it becomes one account. Is it fair? no. it isn't, and i would agree that a full rollback should happen for all of Empyrean when the bugs are fixed, not because i'm a sore loser, but because i'd rather lose legitimately.
