They've shown since then that they do have the ability to free up space (deleting belts and HQ gathering), so things do change.
Could just be memory allocation. It took them this long to give us glamour dresser slots, and it's taking them strides to get us inventory space.

There's just one thing, of course. It's that the 400 slot thing is server-side, so you need memory for all of it. Imagine one slot takes exactly 1MB, for some reason. For example's sake.
That's 400MB of inventory space on one end, they need to come up with the remainder. And then, each player will need memory allocated for their inventories. That's why it's a bit hard sometimes to properly implement these slots. Even if the inventory window isn't on, you're still taking up space somewhere. Now, of course, 400MB is probably not realistic xD a full inventory would likely take around 1MB or so. But imagine the thousands of players and ALTs they have. And that's just 400 new slots, we have a lot more than that.
