It is easier for them to see how things are going with a much smaller housing system (FC) and then (potentially) correct some of those issues and not have them impact most once personal housing is released. As opposed to having over 1 million new houses at once, they might only have to deal with a couple of hundred or so, maybe a thousand. So I understand why they want FC first, but the delay in giving us the FC housing is increasing gamer frustration instead of building suspense/excitement. Most people aren't happily waiting for this update, they are sick and tired of waiting for this update of which has no release date in sight. When is does get released, it's not gonna be a "yay we have FC housing now," it's gonna be more like, "about freakin time they released this, they sure took their sweet ass time for something that is identical to what they showed us in videos a few months ago, what they hell took them so long?"

Another note, I absolute hate this update system they have in place, I liked old FFXIV update system much better. They would release 0.01 updates instead of 0.1 updates. So right now we would be 2.07 and would probably already have the housing implemented (we've all seen the videos of the housing system working, so they aren't in the middle of designing/creating it, it's most likely done with them doing minor touch-ups here and there while we wait forever to use something that should have been in 2.0 from launch.) Instead we have a major update system, where the players wait an extended period with little to no patience, for you to release a 0.1 where you could have released seven 0.01 updates and mini updates like 0.1b. Making us wait for stuff that's done just because you want to release it all at once isn't something that is liked by many of your customers, in fact it's hated by many.
