The answer is simple — a huge number of players are using Portal to farm weapon XP. About two months ago, Battlefield 2042’s Portal was also unplayable for the same reason.
It's not even call of duty or other outside gamers its just that players nowadays are so demanding and crave instant gratification.
Why GRIND when you can take the path of least resistance? Why spend hours and days and weeks when you can just bum it out in 24hrs.

Chris, I think it is important to remember that there are those without time to really play and grind that enjoy the game but want to be able to update their weapon as they desire. Also in some cases it gives people a significant advantage and why should those players not want the same advantage? This game is meant to allow all players of any walk of life to play. So either do what 2042 did which will allow them to kill bots to get their weapon attachments or increase server numbers in some way to accommodate IMO.

They said it takes about 3500 bot kills to fully level up a gun, so I guess until they’re done farming, the rest of us can’t have a normal Portal experience.

3500 bots huh? Wonder how many actual players to do the same. Leveling weapons in CoD felt slow... but holy moly... it's beyond pathetic in BF6. In CoD I could jump into a Zombie server and level a gun in about 4 - 5 hours. I've been playing roughly 5 - 9 hours a day since launch and still not a single weapon leveled. At this rate, Battlefield 7 will be out and if I'm lucky I might have half my weapons leveled. SMH
