How is it possible that Binance doesn't have a system that disallows massive simultaneous withdrawals without some kind of two-key manual override or something?

The theft occurred on-chain with smart contract execution, not with their platform. The money was stolen directly from the hot wallet.

"massive" is relative, for Binance this amount could be a few % of a normal day.
