They're still closed for the reason you detailed - there are still over 300 plots available on Raiden. Players who really want a house are free to choose from what's still available. They could always relocate later if something more to their liking becomes available.

That they aren't taking one of them indicates they aren't really interested in housing and so SE has no reason to open up the additional wards.

Also, Empyreum has been fairly popular on NA worlds even if it isn't on Raiden. Those plots get just about as many bids as plots in any other housing district when available.
