Airports do plan they have a combination or runway and gate slots. They control things to not become overcrowded and full of traffic jams and delays.
Having no redundancy in power supply and distribution might be something to look at, but from my understanding of where the fault/fire happened most places would fail as is difficult to put redundancy in place for a grid to building hand over. building a 2n physically diverse system is super expensive. Think only data centres, ATC, hospitals and similar would design in redundancy for my understanding of where the fire was and damaged the electricity distribution.
You can't build an airport that is infinitely big to cover diversions from other places. Or oversize terminals to cover issues in other terminals.
