Aghanim's Labyrinth have no sense

Many have already played the new Aghanim's Labyrinth. But how many people remember when this mode first appeared in Dota 2? It was about a year and a half ago, in the summer of 2020. As now, then the event aroused unprecedented interest.
On Reddit and other resources, you can find a lot of guides for completing the Aghanim's Labyrinth, for heroes and a group. You won't find guides here, but there will be thoughts on whether the game is worth it.
Not everyone can
The renewed old event is good. There are so many new and interesting things: locations, mobs, a skill system.
The first level of difficulty makes it possible not only to study in more detail all the subtleties and features of the game, but also gives the right to make mistakes. If the goal of the game is to relax and try something new, then this will be more than enough.
Further, some knowledge and experience are already required to pass more difficult levels. You need to think more carefully about skill matrix, itembuilding, actions and other. And this is where problems can arise.
At levels 1-3, most players are eliminated who just wanted to play for their own pleasure. If you want to go further and get more - waste your time and energy. Not everyone is ready to do this.
Buy Battle Pass
The mode is available to absolutely everyone for free, but there is a problem. It doesn't make sense without a Battle Pass. Everything that can be obtained from Aghanim's Labyrinth is somehow spent on BP progress. And from there you can get at least something.
Moreover, starting from the 3rd level, it becomes necessary to pick other heroes. But here's the surprise, not all of them are available for selection. And they can only be unlocked in Battle Pass.
Rewards
All rewards are in Battle Pass. For completing all difficulty levels, you will not receive nothing. Therefore, it is not surprising that on Reddit appear some posts like:
I went through all 5 difficulties of the labyrinth, collected all the alternative versions of the Aghanim. And got nothing for it. Valve make at least an emoticon as a reward, as a keepsake.
The last time arcanas and very rare and expensive couriers were given for the fastest passing of Labyrinth. Several groups of players were chasing the record. For example, one of the winners was a Russian-speaking streamer, in the past RuHub studio talent, Yaroslav «NS» Kuznetsov. He also wrote his opinion about the new event:
With all difficulty of the event, it becomes even more unclear, for what? Do it just to get what? Well, yes, okay, but how much more incentive and excitement would have been added if for each next level passed a certain reward would have been given, of course, with each more difficult level and the reward should be better. Meh, and that would be a table of records with awards...
And so it turns out that you don't need to go through anything, you just run something there, they give 2k BP points per week and you can score at the event, so don't care, if you don't get anything extra for completing a more difficult level (oh yes, some phrases then into the chat wheel, okay)
And if there are no worthwhile prizes, and there is no point in playing Aghanim's Labyrinth without a Battle Pass, then why is all this? Considering all the time spent just completing the event, it makes more sense to go to work, and then just buy the levels and get everything.
