FYI - only data changes can be hotfixed - code bugs like these require a new build.

What is build?
Sorry, it just means an updated version of the game.
Basically hotfix means you change data (like how much damage a gun does, or how long it takes for the storm to close in), whereas most actual code bugs need to be fixed in code, compiled, and then a new version of the game has to be released to you. That process takes at least a few days in the best of circumstances.
Do you think it’ll be fixed on PS4 before the celebration cup? Or are we slow farming our way through the tournament.
I have heard that we are going to message on social later today as to when the PS4 update will be ready, but I would be very surprised if it wasn't released by Thursday at the latest.
I feel like a short term solution to this problem could have/is to increase harvesting rates. That seems like it is a hotfix and would allow people to still farm at relatively the same rate. This would allow you to fix the bug, while working around it at the same time.
You are correct that we could hotfix that but that kind of HF would go across all platforms so PC would also get elevated mats which would have exacerbated the problem.

The problem there is hotfixes are not platform-specific so we would be elevating farming for all platforms. Don’t worry, this will be a distant memory soon :)
