Design Fireside Chat Edition

I'm curious, and I didnt see this directly covered, is there a rewason a level cap increase wouldnt have alleviated some of this with how well it works based on the post? Enemies in the game top out at lvl 95 currently, and accounts/characters topping at lvl 85 instead of, say, lvl 100 has felt like a weird choice for quite a long time now. Surely there would have been a way to balance a final level increase to work with the introduction of relics at the time, or even now.
