Let people who want to spend real life money rent housing on a monthly basis with real life money, reducing the demand for gil-based housing.

Basically let people who can afford it pay IRL money for housing, like additional retainers. And in turn, make it easier for people who can't or don't want to spend IRL money to get get a house.
The "why" is the same reason the servers were mucked in early access. Even instances have their limits. Physics is a thing.
