This is not true.

In a limited supply system, it is a FACT that there will never be enough houses for everyone. That is why the ONLY way to solve the problem of people not being able to have a house when they want one is to switch to an instanced housing system.

Really? So If i got to a game with instance housing it will still have people creating new houses, hundreds per day regardless of population? If I went on LOTRO right now there would just be hundreds of new instance houses being claimed every day and ALL being actively used? Millions of instances of houses being used at least once a month with no signs of growth slowing or stopping?

More likely it would fluctuate in correlation with the population. There were times when EVERY server had empty plots for extended amounts of time, this means AT THE TIME, there was enough. Supply easily meant demand. I would agree that at the moment SE doesn't seem willing to do what it takes to meet that demand, but to say its impossible to meet without instancing is just a lack of imagination and math skills.

The entire idea of a supply being finite meaning no one has enough is just flat out wrong. Literally everything in existence has a finite amount and demands on supply are being met pretty routinely.

You are overstating your case.
