Job balance isn't something that works as intended from the get-go. They're constantly altering values for that because they're imprecise and make mistakes. I'll give you the chocobo deal, although that seems more like an oversight rather than a firm development goal they want to adhere to. But from the start when housing was released they wanted it to be ideally an FC only thing, and eventually it moved on to personal housing. They liked the idea of wards and neighborhoods. It's why they developed them that way.

Shouting for 3 years about how it should all be instanced and upgradable so everyone can have a mansion to decorate when they've been absolutely 0 indication that they want to move in that direction is lunacy. Would it be nice if they did it? Sure, I don't really care. I don't think they really care, either.
