Other MMO's use different engines. TESO lets you block a power swing from a 2-handed steel greatsword by holding a simple wooden bow up in front of it and the greatsword just bounces off...

Meanwhile, WoW - the most "popular" MMO of all time - doesn't even have housing.

Point simply being that different MMO's use different tools with different strengths and weaknesses. Just because one game "can" do something doesn't mean every other game must be able to do the same exact thing. I'm content with housing existing in its current form in FFXIV given everything else I really enjoy about the game.
