Taking in their calculations the enormous inactive accounts database is the big problem here.

And no, SE will not ''get what they need out of this''. Being the only server with no inactive accounts, every LS willing to move will end up in Ragnarok... it will be so over-crowded that they'll have to make a second merge before the 2.0.
All SE needs out of this is to condense servers and increase population across the board. It matters little who individually ends up where from their perspective. Guess what? Target achieved.

Also not sure why you are blaming SE for any consideration of inactives when it was the community who demanded that they do so.
