Its a blizzard design problem
If we didnt stat squish and kept things as they were, they could have just added 1025 or 1125 or 1225.
Or added an upgrade pathway for mythics to an end game variant with some new game content mat.
It just screams some laziness and poor forward thinking and roadmapping.
So assuming that the changes were the right ones in the first place is quite a bit of a frame problem that people seem to forget.
