Sure, SE would have no issue just completely locking down a server or datacenter, as I've personally experienced in Stormblood (full lockdown on Gilgamesh and Balmung). Doesn't mean it's a healthy solution though. It was steadily killing activity on Gilgamesh, while the RP community was the only thing that kept Balmung alive.
