What is the point of cooking? Items only restore "207,000 Health" in TWW?

I haven’t been able to find any information on this anywhere.

Learning Khaz Algar Cooking, the recipies only allow you to learn to craft food items that awad a “whopping” measily 207,000 Health. Whereas with Dragonflight, I was running around with food that restored over 2X that AND gave a well-fed bonus.

Why is this backwards?

Meanwhile, the vendors will sell food that restores 1.1million for level 75.

Did Cooking get nerfed? I have a level 80 with millions in health so cooking is basically useless.

It’s for the buffs generally speaking not health. Potions/Healthstones are used for health.
