I really can’t be too hard on the devs, this is a completely volunteer operation, and the massive influx led to all kinds of very foundational issues related to scaling. As I said in another comment a day or two ago, I think many are focused on just keeping the wheels from falling off the car that is their own instances right now.
Realistically, I think the only way they can right the course is for several instances to go on hiatus that are run by people who can contribute 10 to 20 hours a week developing the platform. I am also making a number of assumptions, such as there is a big overlap between developers and people running instances.
