Also you're not actually losing much when your house explodes. You keep all your furniture and 80% of the gil cost of the plot.
How great would real life be if you leave your house alone for a couple of months (maybe to travel the world) and its gone when you come back because how dare you do that!
Its even worse in a game where it really is just pixels that are restricted only by SEs choice...they created something that will never be enough for everyone even if each housing owner plays every single day...

Also we live in a time of a pandemic. People have lost jobs, may have gotten really ill, lost maybe other people or have nowhere to stay. Of course a house in a game would not be on the first place in their minds..but that should not mean that one hurts them even more by taking that away.
