>raiding and boss difficulty unironically has nothing to do with casuals wanting to do it or not.
I'm not going to read the rest of your post because this is an absolutely retarded take, and usually one given by the tryhard no lifes/minmaxers who ruined the game. A look at the sub graph will very quickly prove my point.

The second blizzard started catering to "hardcore gamers" the game started dying. Semi-casuals (aka the majority of the player base) want to be able to raid and clear the "hardest" content/difficulty, classic had its population peak in wrath naxx because it was easy clearable content by the entire player base. Then it fell off a cliff in ulduar when the content got hard.
