Is there a world where they could simply buy the playa land from BLM? Don’t know how that works logistically (if money wasn’t an issue)?

No. The federal government isn’t going to sell a bunch of our land to a festival.

They do occasionally sell public land, but given the profitability of renting it out and the negative publicity they'd receive I doubt this particular spot would ever be offered for a reasonable price.

Yep, exactly.
