IMO you should be asking a couple of different questions:

Why does SE allow an FC to own an a house that has less members than the number of signers needed to create it?

Why isn't SE freeing houses that have less than four active subscriptions?

As an FYI, you need four different players (and they can't be on the same account as the signer) and that implies that SE intended that there would be four subscriptions going to the FC. I'm generally fine with decoupling the FC housing checks from personal housing provided that the above two checks are made, and a system is in place that's hard to abuse so if someone really wants to throw money at it to get the multiple houses, they can. For that matter, the entire FC system needs to also check that one account isn't leader of more than one FC, and transferring leadership will fail if an account already has a character that's a leader of an FC. All of this should be on a per server basis btw.
