Snark aside, AFAIK palate hardening is not terribly permanent, it works by creating scar tissue, which can become more floppy than the original tissue as you age. It's only useful if a floppy palate is causing obstructions/snoring. Removing tonsils and adenoids will may free up some space in the airway, but it's not going to make any difference if they're not the cause of the obstruction, and this may weaken your immune system.
While I'm sure you were trying to be helpful, I do wish people would stop treating sleep apnea like it's something that's easy to fix. Just have these body parts removed. Just lose weight. Just get on CPAP. Just fix your allergies. Just have your jaw broken and moved forward. Just have an electrode implanted. Etc.
