Instanced housing = everyone gets a house = more stress on server data limitations.
We cannot even have TP bars with numbers because of server data limitations (they are going to add TP bars to party window without them) as Yoshi stated in live letter. Almost every limitation that FFXIV has is always related to this server data problem.
If they expanded servers or started compressing data in some efficient way we could probably have instanced housing.
