They talked about issue with the balcony door in the 2019 EU FanFest Q&A. They said it can't happen because of the way house instances are designed.

They can't allow players move the workshop/private chamber door or allow you to add multiple copies of it throughout the house because it's the entry point to those other instances.

You might not mind giving up your basement but other house owners likely would.

No need to when there's more than housing to the game. Housing in some other MMOs let players freely do some of what he suggests. There's nothing extraordinary about it. Sadly, FFXIV didn't incorporate those features into housing design here and the lack is hindering what we can accomplish.
