The game hasn't been around that long. Housing was introduced in patch 2.1 (Dec 2013).

It wasn't originally a problem because allowing personal housing other than FC rooms hadn't been included in the original design though they announced they would add it in response to player feedback.

There have been periods in the game's history when getting a house wasn't a problem (unless you played on Balmung). But the last time we had such a period was 2018. The player base has increased rapidly since then and the increase to demand has outpaced the increase to supply.

Obviously the current situation needs a solution but I wanted to correct your belief that SE should have corrected this 12 years ago.
