At this point, the Burning Legion is a non-threat. Lacking Sargeras leadership, it is guaranteed to have descended into infighting and accomplishing pretty much nothing.
Pirates might not be threatening to wipe out the universe, but they'd be a much more immediate and relevant threat than the Legion.
Did you not play BfA? That's literally BfA. Azshara was the main threat to Kul Tiras through her puppets Lady Ashvane and Lord Stormsong and was also implied to have dealings with Zul. It was a Seafaring expansion as multiple island chains were introduced as the location of maritime expeditions. The two main questing hubs were large islands in the Great Sea. Pirates were frequent threat in Kul Tiras.
So you just want a rehash of BfA? With no faction war? Boring!

Sargeras literally stabbed the planet and nearly killed Azeroth. We beat him by the skin of our teeth. We had to sacrifice our artifacts to cleanse his sword of the corruption that was killing Azeroth. We still don’t know truly how much damage he did.
Your bias for Zovaal and anything First One related is out of hand.
And yet, if Blizzard were to make a poll asking "Who was the best antagonist between Sargeras and Zovaal?", I guarantee you that Sargeras would get at least 99% of the votes.
Sargeras might not have been as successful as Danuser's asspulled OC, but he definitely won the hearts of the community more than Zovaal ever could.
Weird I go to Icecrown and it’s exactly the same as it was before SL.
The “rampant scourge” isn’t even a major issue after the prepatch so having a Lich King was clearly pointless.
Also, two people getting bullied ≠ the planet getting stabbed.
Hell, you even have some elemental NPCs still referencing Sargeras stabbing the planet in DF.
Gul'dan, a minion of Sargeras, killed Varian though, and we know that Anduin is traumatized by his father's death. That's why he keeps hallucinating conversations with him. Another minion of Sargeras, Putress, killed Anduin's mentor and adoptive father in Bolvar. Surely Anduin has changed immensely as a result of Sargeras' actions. If Sargeras never invaded Azeroth, Anduin would still be a little prince hiding in his father's shadow.
As for the absence of the Lich King 1) Lich King Bolvar was dormant anyway, it's not like anything's changed that much, the Scourge has been contained rather rapidly by the mortals and 2) In fairness, the Legion got very close to destroying the Lich King too and was stopped only because Illidan lost the duel with Arthas at the end.

I have no idea how or why you equate my explanation what other people mean about a pirate expansion to me actually wanting one. I don't.
That being said, there are plenty of recently implemented lore tidbits that hint at Azshara's possible return (please don't confuse this with me wanting her to return).
I agree that Azshara will return, and her return is inevitable. But Azshara is no longer tied to the oceans of the world of Azeroth, she pursues a higher calling. She has used a Void portal to travel somewhere. When Azshara returns, it is unlikely that the "Great Sea" will be involved. It is much more plausible that Azshara will return for a storyline revolving around the Void.
But I find a Pirate expansion extremely boring, pirates are not important, they're just criminals. They can work as villains of a dungeon, like Freehold. That's it.
You really don't get my point; I'm saying that the stakes of the story will become entirely deprived of meaning if he we continuously climb our way up the aforementioned cosmic food chain. If we continue concerning ourselves with perpetual escalation, nothing could potentially be impressive. There's far more to a villain and the stakes of a story than magnitude alone.
Your argument is poor. Sylvanas destroyed Teldrassil? According to Gul'dan, the Legion destroyed 10000 worlds
Do you think that the destruction of Teldrassil is worse than the destruction of 10000 worlds?
The Jailer was bound to the Maw for millennia. During that time, the physical cosmos was at the mercy of Sargeras' Legion. His Burning Crusade caused unspeakable destruction to the Cosmos. And, even though Sargeras is imprisoned, his demons remain. Logically, just because the Legion has collapsed, doesn't mean the demons will stop being a blight upon the Cosmos.
Gul'dan yells: I have seen the end of your pitiful world, Wrynn. You will perish in felfire, like ten thousand worlds before your own. The legion is ENDLESS.
