It will never happened but even slightest opportunity it will be FC only.
Why would they separate gardening from housing? Because I'd hope they would recognize that because the supply of housing is so limited and until they are ready to assign the necessary resources to change that, the lack of gardening can prevent players from crafting to it's fullest extent. Getting lucky enough to get house or permission from the FC shouldn't restrict you from harvesting the materials needed for general crafting. **i'm defining general crafting as anything with materials that don't involve mats from ex trials or the like**

Housing might have originally been designed for FC use, but they have for some time expanded their updates to account for personal use housing. They do still prioritize FCs (rightfully so) with the current supply so theoretically, they can maximize the amount of people that can enjoy housing.
