Getting new servers is not all that easy right now - and obviously they can't buy just any old hardware, it has to be something with the right specifications whatever they are. And I think you seriously underestimate what they cost.
Oh, and just adding new servers to a data centre can't be done beyond a certain point, because all the worlds in a given datacentre share instance servers which handle all the instanced group content. They can only handle so many players at a time.
1. This is an emergency we don't have the luxury to make everything fit in the data center. They can just code the server to be another specification for now or leave them on the floor if they don't fit.

2. If there aren't enough instance servers then just buy more on Amazon.
