They quite literally have thousands of servers all around the world, many of which they need to go the extra mile with to keep off Netflix blacklists etc. so the service itself is very different to spinning up a single VPS.
In terms of utilisation; a significant portion of their users use the service for P2P (there's even dedicated P2P servers) and many more users such as myself for streaming (around geo-blocking).
Utilisation is public and many servers are indeed frequently near max utilisation, even when there are hundreds in a region. Decreasing utilisation at that scale will have a significant impact on profitability.
