i means with a game for 4 million + people (as they have said) isn't normal to expect high congestion and to have the hardware ready for it?

.... between the lack of manpower and hardware we can't expect them to do miracle, but still i'm bothered by the fact that every month they get more of 40.000.000 euro (and i'm sure i under estimate how much they get) even if we count the maintenance and support team for 10.000.000 (what is far too much) where go the other 30.000.000. i can understand that the society get them but don't they can reinvest a bit into the game? i means god with the cash they get per month can't we expect a better support of SE to the dev?
FF XIV don't have 4 Million active players. It is said to be 4 Million Accounts. Active player are estimated to be around 400k-500k. Means an earning of ~5.5 Million Euro. Now subtract taxes, Salary, Server leasing, services, Development of Content and Expansions, Services, Translation and ofc. profit.
