The "point" of houses is... to access housing features. Decorating, gardening, workshops, etc.

The auto-demo timer isn't some sort of conspiracy to make people stay subbed to the game, no matter what the tinfoil hat-wearing posters would have you think. The auto-demo timer is to make sure houses aren't sitting unused indefinitely. Forcing you to actually go inside your house a bare minimum of once every month and a half is probably the least tyrannical way that SE can "nudge" you toward using it. But as they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

And I'll say it again, since my point seemed to go over your head. SE does not charge for specific features (raiding, housing, pvp, etc.) they charge you access to the game servers. What you choose to do after that point is moot. You don't pay for a house, you pay to play, just like everyone else (homeless and homeowners alike.)
