Couldn't we also add more witnesses? Wouldn't that also solve the problem of having bandwidth issues? Because more nodes would be getting paid to keep their servers up & running? And by adding more witnesses, the blockchain becomes more secure because we're guaranteeing that there is more distribution of the data?

That is not how it works. Every server that runs the blockchain software must have itโs own local copy of the blockchain.

Right.. so more servers getting paid to run a local copy of the blockchain would mean that there are more servers with more capacity (because they can afford to upgrade the RAM / HDD if they're getting paid) ... How is that not how it works?

The witnesses can pay for their servers, yes - but third party developers and exchanges must pay for theirs out of pocket. Adding more witnesses doesnโt really help.
