Because you'd be exchanging in game currency for something that could be used to pay for your subscription. This would cost them money.

Of course spending money developing content to sink the gil into like player housing isn't free either, but it also adds additional value to the game, and there are cheaper options available like nerfing NPC sell prices or raising transaction taxes.
