I suppose that the computer hardware necessary to create such a satisfactory solution could all come with GPUs that could be used for Bitcoin mining while the housing is online.
I sincerely doubt that 25 million created accounts is in any way an indicator of how many people are logged on at once or how many apartments are being rendered at any one time. There are plenty of other MMOs that have provided housing for every single player and got along just fine. Some of them (like SWG) even had in world housing and you could have several per character.
