Unfortunately it's not as simple as "Lets throw dollar bills around until the problem is solved!" Depending on how they are set up, there are logistical concerns with bringing massive server capacity online that will not be needed for more than a day or two. It's not the same as say, a simple website, where you can rent some time on some Amazon cluster and be done with it. Actually it IS that simple. Because blizzard has long experience with past hugely successful games (WoW, starcraft, etc), and they've had plenty of time to make sure the server setup is easily scalable, and reduce the logistical concerns. They literally have no excuse for this stuff. If they needed to stress test it more, they should have had an longer open stress test like they've done in the past with huh lemme see, diablo 2 wasn't it?
They've had plenty of money and time to get this done, and they've had time to see how popular pre-orders were (both for digital and physical game) and prepare for this, and money isn't a concern for blizzard.
