Well I think we at a new low .

Then I'll be honest, if I had the ability to remove your house from you right now while also refunding all the gil you spent, I would. Because if you're forcing yourself to play the game over a simple house, you have serious problems. If you want to take a break, then take a break, lose your house, why should it matter to you when you want nothing to do with the game until the next big patch? I really don't care about you losing your house, because if you're making yourself miserable, then remove what is making you miserable instead of wallowing in your sorrow. But no, we both know you won't do that, you'd rather blame SE then actually do something that you feel would be good for you, and that's taking a break. The only one keeping that house as a shackle is you. I bet you don't even use that house all that often.

Is it really that unreasonable to expect a better product in exchange of the money we are paying?

While I understand the point you are trying to get across, a lot of us have spent a lot of time obtaining, decorating and maintaining our house. Expecting people to just delete and invalidate all that work because we are discontent with the current design philosophy seems extremely unfair.

Personally, I feel beholden to maintain my subscription for my house, because I've spent money in some Mog Station decorations; as well as fundraising for a whole year with my friends to buy our large FC one. Every single one of us quit because of the content drought, and I'm keeping everything afloat presumably until 7.0. Do you really expect us to throw everything away, because we're discontent with the current design philosophy? Do I have to remind you that this content drought wasn't always there?

It's valid for people to voice their complaints, because most of them come from wanting to see improvements on a game they love. I personally don't criticize the game out of spite or malice. I just want it to do better, because I consider it my main MMO in the limited selection of what we have.
