Why is leveling not remotely dangerous?

I put the current state of WoW on 1 person, Ion, he has been a disaster for the game. Greg Street made some dumb changes too, which he has now admitted to years later, but Ion is just too fixated on old design.

This is evident with hardcore classic; people keep rerolling even though it’s a slower process and simpler game, because the leveling process is the game and it always feels like you accomplishing something or overcoming a challenge from 1-60.

This concept is lost on endgame Maze+ runners and raid loggers. They think the only challenge and character progress should be locked behind these boring, repetitive endgame systems.
