If they just made an Act 5 and had it drop better gear, the players that already have amazing gear will just steamroll it and then they have no reason to keep playing for a very small gear upgrade. If they can invalidate our gear though by adding ten new levels, and more importantly, 10 new ilvls, then it effectively hits the reset button on the game.
That will get people playing again, people will want to gear up so they can race for the next paragon level 100, people will want to gear up so they can pvp with the brand new abilities and shit. Basically, from a business standpoint, Blizzard would have to be retarded to not have an expansion increase the level cap.
