But all these weird mental gymnastics are just smoke and mirrors to disguise the tone policing going on here. And, it doesn't change the fact that /right now/ large houses are a luxury. SE did not intend for everyone to have one, or else all houses would have been large from the get go at patch 2.1 and there would be no smalls or mediums.

And Stormpeaks is perfectly welcome to state that. Very strange that you can't seem to just get past it. You don't have to agree.
Houses were initially insanely expensive and FC only. They were never intended as a luxury item but a reward that few actually managed to obtain, so scarcity or luxury were never intended as factors. It's been fundamentally flawed from the beginning, and it only snowballed the more they advanced the housing system as a means of actual gameplay. It's nothing to do with tone policing, I don't know why I have to keep explaining that. When you say something is unequivocally true, expect to get challenged on it, particularly when there's so much behind it that suggests your view is flawed and you're speaking from a place of self-interest than anything else. Anyone can say anything they like, but it doesn't always mean anything and you will come up against criticism for it sooner or later.
