FC owning 12 plots

Again, housing =/= reward. Drop it with the FUD already... it shows your argument holds zero water because if that's all you've got to lean on, its naught more than an acknowledgement that the position is wholly immoral and an admission that it's an exploitation of the rule set.

Given your history, you'd think you know that housing started off as something exclusive for FCs only and astronomically priced.

It's players who whined about wanting personals and lowering the price for something that is limited in supply.

Then of course the botters/scalpers came along.

Players who asked for that retarded placard camping system we have now.

The real solution would be either drastically increase the supply of ward houses or implement fully instanced housing alongside the existing systems. But that would cost SE a lot of money and housing is not a priority for SE.

And lol, you're talking about morals in an MMORPG; a genre where one of the features is defined by useless accumulation.

The TOS allows for ownership of multiple FC houses and this is something that can be checked with GMs or through support.

If you and other players feel strongly about this, you can contact SE's support or the GMs and report.

It's one of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" things.... but...

While I wouldn't be surprised if this is a cultural differences thing (as in it makes more sense in the context of the Japanese culture than it does in an American one), I think that's what apartments were supposed to be... but like most things in this system they need work.

The FC system needs to be tweaked as it's currently too lose... but much of that discussion needs to happen after workshop and gardening functionality is made generally available to players and not FC exclusive. Either way, the way FFXIV works it's pretty clear that it's designed with the intention that each player is (on average) only going to have a single character (which explains why the oversight with the personal houses and ports occurred). So following from that, it's pretty obvious that a single account was never intended to control multiple FCs. Tbh, the entire line of reasoning is a bit like using a dupe exploit or RMT and going "it's perfectly fine because I haven't been banned!".
