Opt out of housing in game

But there's a big difference. You can farm mounts.

You mean, invest time and effort doing a dungeon again and again and again on the off chance that maybe the mount will drop, and maybe you'll get it? Sounds a lot like entering the housing lottery to me, except entering a housing lottery takes a much smaller investment of time.

You can run the harder dungeons if you take the time to unlock them.

Not everyone can do the hardest dungeons, either because of hardware limitations (e.g. bad ping), time limitations (e.g. they don't have enough time to spend on the game to get gud, get into a static, and farm the content), or physical limitations (e.g. palsey). But everyone with the gil can enter the housing lottery, and gil is easy to get in this game.

This stupid argument again. There is no limit to the number of people who can run dungeons/raids etc. Everyone can do the content, and if they have issues clearing, you can get better at playing the game so that you can clear the content. Housing has a limit to the number of people who can even do the system. There will always be a large portion of the player base who cannot interact with the system because of the artificial limit that SE put on it through wards. Yes I can try to interact with it but beyond the RNG of winning a lottery I have no way to improve myself, get better gear, etc. to make it so I can actually complete content and get rewards. It is 100% RNG on whether you can interact with the housing system vs you can always interact with the dungeons/raids and it's on you and your skill whether you can clear it.

Sure you can. Level alts. My spouse won her house this time by placing three bids on it, one for each character she has on that world.
Oh, and of course, you can also have characters on other worlds.

And you missed the point again. It is always RNG if you are bidding against anyone else. There will always be people who have a house and those who can't get one because of RNG.
