28 plots is insignificant given the player populations on each server. Secondly, the people who were grandfathered in with multiple personals did so at a time when the rules permitted such a thing. If they lose their personals to autodemo, they will never get those back. Rather than asking for SE to take away things from people who played by the rules, ask SE instead to fix the fundamental issue;that there's a severe shortage of persistent ward housing.

The current rule is 1 personal and 1 fc per player per world per service account.
This is incorrect. You can own 1 personal and 8 FC houses per server. Also, there's a distinction between purchasing from the placard and inheriting FC houses.

Here we have a GM response to a ward owner who reported themselves to the GM for owning multiple FC houses:

Blame SE for choosing to go with persistent ward housing rather than fully instanced housing so that every player could have a house.

Given that SE has consistently doubled down on the persistent ward housing, the best we can hope for is making apartments upgradeable for gil to condos/penthouses with balconies for gardening and workshop access.

When autodemo resumes, improved apartments would go a long way to reduce the demand on ward housing for many servers.
