It pays the game becasue SE not gives them money to work with the game, so they are FORCED to rob people of there wallets, i love this game but SE itself is such a scam, i can't wait till Yoshida can start really from scratch without bad influences from SE with his next project.
Every game company is greedy. They are for-profit companies, not charities. They are out to make money and that means offering things people want to buy.

It's hard to find any multiplayer online game that doesn't sell optional items, content and/or services you have to pay extra to get. Stop making it sound like SE is so horribly different from the rest when it's not.

If you object so much, why do you continue to patron these greedy gaming companies when you could stick to purchasing from game companies where a one time purchase gets you every thing possible for the game? I'm sure there are a few that exist somewhere out there if you take the time to look.

The timer does not exist to force players to continue to subscribe. Even players who are actively subscribed will lose their house if they don't enter it for 45 days. The timer exists so that a limited resource can get in the hands of those who will actively use it if the current owner is not.

We the consumers ultimately decide whether or not to spend money on the product provided. You can be an ignorant consumer and pay money for something you aren't actively using, or you can be an intelligent consumer and pay money for something you are actively using.

If you know something requires continued use to retain possession but you don't want to maintain continued use, why did you buy it in the first place? That's being the ignorant consumer.

If you're only intermittently playing FFXIV when new content gets released and find you want to have long gaps between your subscription periods, you're better off buying a different game to get your housing fix. It's not like FFXIV is the only game that has housing or that we're only allowed to enjoy a single game. You can be playing both.
