And before you mention it, that doesnt mean I want instanced housing, not at all actually because it'd be absolutely depressing to have that, but I had to point out the real goal behind auto demo.
If you think about it, having auto demolition is pretty essential for housing with a limited number of plots. Without it, there eventually would be next to none new plots outside of game updates since very few would willingly relinquish their slots or even remember to do it.

Either way it's safe to say it's not a system that makes square tons of money since they could turn it off for two years on every datacenter when the pandemic hit, and continue to do so whenever disaster strikes somewhere across the world
