Those people you want to leave behind are the ones most likely to laugh with me if we wipe. Then pick ourselves up and try again. And sometimes again and again until we get it. I enjoy that this game makes people who just want to have fun feel welcome.

There's nothing wrong with asking for more challenge in optional content. It's optional. SE may want people to do it, and so they may be resistant to making it too challenging, but it's a valid argument to have. If the problem is people aren't prepared for Extremes or Savage, then as someone else said, request more in-between content leading up. But I will have to say no thanks if you want to make the MSQ more unfriendly and leave behind the people I enjoy having fun with.
I like your general attitude, while I admit I have been playing the game for a long while so things might feel easier than intended. It does feel like the games bends over backwards to keep players from failing. I'm absolutely fine with helping struggling players if their effort is genuine instead of wanting to be dragged over the finish line.
