Casuals Don't need Mythic Gear for Casual Content

A good start would likely be the classic approach to PvE content. One mode. One item level dropping from the raid. Low drop chances on loot. Your commitment over time (And we’re talking tier-long, not weekly) would determine the amount of gear you went into the next raid with, not that you acquired that gear in the first place.

When this game shifted to difficulty-driven is when it began this path. It was always going to end here.

I think another factor you’re not pointing out is that leveling was fundamentally slower back then too. So casual players had a daunting time of getting to the end game but that was okay because their path would take forever. Problem now is not only are their tiered difficulties, but basically Blizz just magically teleports everyone to 60.
