But tl dr is basically old engine, systems, servers and developers own view on housing is partially reason to why we don't have instanced housing.

I keep seeing people bringing up newer games done it a different way but it's not comparable when we got the sytem 8 years ago and not even sure it's technically feasable with the current engine. I mean we can't even get higher outdoor item limit or indoor.

The way to make it instanced (if they even want that) is a complete overhaul to both sytem and most likely the game engine that limits them in various ways.

The game can't expand dynamically due to hardware limitation (need more servers) so it more a question of maintenance costs, invest in new servers (which is nearly impossible right now due to semi-conductor shortages).
the mog store released and everyone raged out and their excuse for the mog store was to add more instanced housing zones, they never did this and Lord of the rings online is way way way older and uses the exact same housing system as ffxiv and they add more and more housing areas when they get full?
