Okay, everything you say is true, but that's not something under the control of universities.
Change everything about the research grant system, and increase funding for it by 10x, and it'll address your concerns, and universities will happily make even more grad students. They aren't currently the bottleneck, because they aren't the sources of research funding - they are just a landlord (with reasonably okay terms) for the research lab that spends that funding.
