How SE thanks its current player base

You should unsubscribe to make more room for SE's attempt at getting more people to subscribe.

Your logic is astounding ...

Is it really that hard to understand that 4 days after a content patch may not be the absolute best time to do one of these Free Login events?

It's actually a great time for it, if everything were good that is. Most servers are going to be fine, some may get a queue time but not very long (maybe a few minutes at most). The handful of overly populated servers though, yeah, this is a HORRIBLE time to have it. Limitations of the servers will stand out more than normal. As far as promotions go though, this still is probably the best time for it.

A week or two after the patch everything will still be active, but the mad dash of the existing players into new content will have dispersed a bit. Strikes me as a much better time to open the doors for everyone to get in.
