That's with 98% of the flights being SWA which has a 30 minute turnaround. The legacy carriers take much longer to turnaround and MSY is mostly legacy carriers as SWA only has ~40% market share.
All the legacy carriers fly narrow body aircraft into MSY and they do not have a "much Longer" turn time, mostly 30 minutes as well.
As for WN's market share at MSY, it is stronger than any other airline, probably close to all others combined.

I suspect southwest will take up 10 gates at the new airport

I don't think this think added concourse will address international issues either. Although MSY doesn't have a lot of international flights, but only 2 gates is kind of thin there also. There's already flights to 4 international destinations with seasonal increases and 2 more are coming online next year. Also AM has filed paperwork for flights from Mexico to MSY and beyond so that's probably already in the works for future flights. That's not even considering international charters which are relatively common.
Eta: that 42 gate count for the current terminal is kind of a misnomer as concourse A has been closed for a while. There's only like 36 useable gates now.
