SE knows the issues and SE goes for the (in their eyes) best approach to deal with it. If they think that enhancing the servers would be the best thing to do there is a 99% chance that they're actually right. Your opinion on an technical issue as a customer(!) is just useless, because you have literally no clue.
This isn't a technical issue. It's a moral issue.
