We're almost certainly going to visit at least some of those other Zereths at some point, though whether or not it'll be a whole expansion is another thing.
But its like how they name dropped various Uld-'s over the years. We've yet to see Uldorus and Uldaz but they're certainly coming (particularly Uldorus, I imagine, given how its name is similar to Antorus, likely key to Azeroth's World-soul).
It would be kinda terrible to have Light and Void buildup in Legion/BFA resolve ten years later imo. And im not talking about fundamental things like Burning Legion conclusion after ten years of expansions, but about certain plot lines that cant be put on hold in-universe: Scarlet Crusade, Turalyon v Genn/Shaw tensions, Alleria and Locuswalker deal etc. These details fit the overall Light vs Void narrative.
Especially if they want to make 10.0 Legion-like big and vast, it would allow them to freely weave in both those plot lines, Yrel's Crusade into Dragon Isles 'locale' plot, just like they built Burning Legion stuff around Suramar 'local' plot line.
Frankly? Because while a cosmic-oriented "myth arc" can be pulled off well, WoW simply hasn't paid the dues for that payoff. Especially a payoff that would essentially see Azeroth taken out back and Old Yeller'd in favor of a 10-year Zereth Tour.
As Varodoc says, a lot of people didn't like how the Shadowlands essentially was created out of nowhere. This isn't the Shadowlands that was built up in Classic, or Wrath, or hell even in BFA. It was created out of thin air to make an expansion around it. Only right everyone should fear Blizz doing that 5 more times.
FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)
Fundamentally we're going to go for another Narrative Whiplash, I suspect. We go from some Azeroth stuff onto Light versus Void or something else cosmic. Maybe an End of the Universe expansion where it Fortnites itself into a new Azeroth or something.
I mean again, the Zovaal Cinematic could lead into a Cosmic expansion but lets' not go that direction. Honestly I would've preferred 10.0 to be on EK and Kalimdor.

I mean, for some reason Blizzard decided to write in this stuff, that supposed to be long time used, reused, abused and forgotten. And that person isnt some rabbit but supposedly "true heir to throne", among other Ligh-base plot lines. I certainly wouldnt throw it away as a joke.
Yes please.
Give me fun stuff in Goldshire, and max level content in Northshire Abbey. Increase the size of the mountain area with bandits, and make the Logging Camp the new city themed questing zone.
First raid in a giant tunnel network underneath Elwynn that tries to dig into the Stockades to free Hogger.
The world revamp dream will never die!

The Pattern can go fuck itself. It's nothing against the almighty retcon, anyway.
