FFXIV is a heavily story driven game. I don't see the devs allowing a major feature of the game to painfully obviously clash with the story.

Kugane was left mostly untouched by the Empire because of political reasons, it makes sense that it has the facilities for player housing. Ishgard has just ended centuries of war and recently suffered a dragon army attack directly on the city. They barely have had time to repair their own city never mind build a new housing district.

Not saying I don't like the idea of housing in Coerthas. But for storyline reasons it makes sense that they're not available yet.
