That’s probably because the WoT was supremely forced and doesn’t make sense.
The whole deal with the NE children burning and going to the Maw for eternal torment is so over-the-top edgy it’s almost comedy. It’s like some fanfic written by an angsty teenager who hates Teletubbies and Barney and writes a story about how they all die horribly and go to Hell because ‘they’re for babies’.
