That's certainly a big part of it, but I should also note that the game has been seeing increasing player numbers ever since the launch of Shadowbringers. Word of mouth about the expansion was really good, and then when they expanded the free trial (unlimited play time and includes the Heavensward expansion!) it really picked up in a hurry. It's just more pronounced lately with the WoW players coming en masse. At the tail end of Stormblood I could log in at almost any time without a queue. I could only avoid queues throughout Shadowbringers if I logged in during the early morning hours. Right now there's always a queue.
