You’re simply ignoring scale here.
Having what in practice is probably 1 in ~5,000 fewer customers has negligible impact on a housing market. That’s assuming many foreigners who would be buying a 3rd home will probably substitute longer term rentals but it’s not zero and from the perspective of customers any movement is positive here.
But more generally if you want more of something, generally I’m suspicious of efforts that make that thing more expensive.
