My guess they'll wait to see how much damage WoW actually does to their current trap system,which by then any response is gonna be too late. The appropriate response would be to make good on the original old promise of personal housing being entirely separate than the FC ward system. (alongside fixing things like the balcony door on 2nd floor still not being usable.) Then they can actively watch how many wards actually need to be up versus how many are fine with instanced areas (that are more than a hole in the wall like apartments; I highly doubt a 2025 XI Mog Home with the original dev team would've been this limited.)
I really don't think housing is a sub trap just to make them money. If they wanted to go that route there would be a lot more effective ways to "trap" players than housing, which isn't something everyone can even get to become "trapped".
