This seems to ignore the fact that SE has historically made decisions that are often related to fairness, regardless of profitability (e.g. their gifting on mounts and ceasing distribution of codes is a good example).

Royalties aren't exactly everything to hosting game, and SE has proven time and time again that they have been attempting to patchwork solutions that benefit user experiences.
The lotto and consequent housing rules are yet another example.
Basic business dictates consumer satisfaction is what continues to have a thriving product, not whales.

And with 198 pages to the housing forums of people complaining of various (if not entirely the same) housing woes [wards being taken by one individual, lack of housing, etc.] it's not difficult to say that at some point, it could very well get addressed just like many other woes before it.
