I get sorely tempted to start up new FCs on Marilith to get a few more houses. Currently I have no FC houses purchased and maintained by one of my Marilith characters. The house of the FC my characters are in was purchased by a different member who really has no interest in housing himself, he made the entry just to help the FC.

I haven't because I'd rather see other players come to the data center to get a house. But we've also got another 4 worlds getting added later this year that will bring an additional 28,800 houses to Dynamis (or 43,200 if wards 25-30 finally get unlocked for purchase on the New worlds). If others don't show up to start claiming what's available, there's really no reason not to buy multiple houses. Someone needs to make those mostly empty wards look inhabited.

If Marilith wards ever did fill up, I could always relinquish the additional FC houses beyond the one I'm allowed for my service account. I wouldn't have a problem doing that. But until that happened, owning multiple houses on Marilith isn't preventing any other player from getting a house.
I don't disagree with you but it's also fair to understand that players who are already in established communities wouldn't want to leave them just for the sake of having a house. Not everyone has the option to uproot their entire communities and move to a new server afterall.

Let's take for example the server which I'm on, given how hard it is to obtain a house here given the population, I don't think I'm entirely wrong to say that multi plot owners derive other players from engaging with the housing system by virtue of an actual lack of houses.
