Can we just end ALL demolishion pauses forever?

Maybe, as an alternative, have regional player pauses. Something happened in Europe? Only EU players have demolition pause, regardless of in which region their house is.

When it comes to instance housing, there might be technical limitations for something that is truly unique per person; there always seems to be some space preallocated; even apartments aren't truly instanced, they have to assign "x" apartments. The biggest true freeform instance content we have are the squadron barracks and some other NPCs we can dress up... which is a long way away from instanced housing.

Right now I'm looking forward to seeing how island sanctuary pans out. They have said it is not housing, but I will be keeping an eye out for other freeform customizations available. If we're lucky, it could be an instance housing prototype, but at this point it can go either way really.

The two things we recently had all server pauses for had global effects. SE does do regional pauses. There have been 4 game wide and 3 regionals AFAIK.

The war in Ukraine is a world affecting conflict. I already mentioned a few affects, but there's a LOT going on. Chances are no matter where you live, you're feeling the effects.. or whomever makes the money and buys the things for your household does.

Ah, that's cool, and yeah, I'm not saying whether a situation is global or regional, that's not my job to determine.

Although, does SE pause regionally by data centers or by players? Like, if EU is paused, do they also pause housing of EU players' houses in other data centers? If not, they probably should if possible.

Regional pauses have been by data center. I don't think they can individually turn peoples Demo timers on and off, it seems to be a server setting, not a player one. And I'm not sure how the FC ones would work.
