Why is BTS so crowded?

As far as the picture on the website shows, some seats are removed, compared with conventional trains.
I wonder why there will be such a crowded train on BTS lines.
One of the reasons for that would be repeated extension of each line.
Since BTS has extended rail lines without constructing new lines, more and more passengers tend to concentrate on conventional lines.

BTS should think about building paralleling railways or increasing tracks to operate rapid trains.
