To my knowledge, and just for I.E - AION has a housing system, it supports all it player base. Wildstar, while never played it, I do believe support all it player base. World of Warcraft, in all areas can support it player base. This is just to name a few, so please, list off the one's that can't support it player base in content and feel the need to take away that content from you if you aren't sub to their game.
I don't play AION or Wildstar so I can't comment on those since I don't know how they work.

I do play WoW. It doesn't even have player housing so it's not relevant though if you want to press the point, Blizzard has taken away things from the player base even if they were subscribed and those items had no impact on game play that was being adjusted. Ask anyone who had gone to the effort of earning Keymaster back in Wrath just to lose it all when Blizzard decided that keys were not only unnecessary but they shouldn't even exist anymore and everything related (other than the instances) was stripped from the game as if they had never existed. Ask players who were partway through epic and legendary quest chains when those were removed from the game so they were left with nothing for their efforts other than worthless quest items for quests that no longer existed.

I haven't played LotRO in a couple of years so I don't know if it's changed since but if you didn't log in and pay the housing monthly maintenance fee (or failed to have enough game currency when it was due), you'd lose your house so another player could buy it.

The weird thing is that you keep refer to losing content just because you unsub. You're not losing access to housing system content just because you unsub for a while. It's not a one-time only opportunity and then you never get to do it again.

Apartments are still part of the housing system and you can't lose your apartment unless you specifically relinquish it. FC rooms are still part of the housing system and you can't lose yours unless you're removed from the FC or relinquish it. You do get a chance to buy a house again subject to availability on the world you've chosen to play on. The content is still there for you to participate in.

Have you lost items that you had acquired as a result of participating in the content? Yes, but that's a known risk of the system and you have the ability not to participate in the system if you object to such loss.
