FC rooms are effectively unlimited housing, but they are only accessible to players who are in an FC that owns a house. If you are not in a FC, or want to help start and grow a new FC, you cannot get one. When I said instanced housing I was thinking of a form of housing that allows every single player who wants one to buy one.

And yes, I suppose the airships are a bit too small. I was thinking about the size of real airships when I wrote it, but FFXIV has much smaller ones. Lighthouses and sailing ships would definitely still be large enough (I think both could be the size of a medium house), and those would both fit well thematically with island sanctuaries. I am not worried about gardens since the island sanctuaries are already intended to be a way for all players to garden and raise chocobos without needing an FC or needing to compete with other players.
Again, Balmung problem is unique of its own because people refuse to get off that server.
Apartment on other servers are pretty empty so is FC housing.
They certainly can add more apartment space as they said they have that ability but there is really no point to do it just for one server.
