Delve as a Stand-Alone game?

Hi GGG Team.

Are there any possibilities to have Delve as a stand-alone game or mode whereby the player does not need to interact with the rest of the base game?

Ladders / rankings
Level 1 starting in delve.

Much like the original delve leagues, but persistent?

Reasoning:

GGG devs have implemented some amazing systems over the past couple of years, however, it is apparent that there has been a significant change in ideology on the direction of PoE1 since PoE2 release.

The new mapping system is a good example, whereby a system that was streamlined and working perfectly is replaced by a UI, extra clicks and extra time consumption to do basic tasks in the game like opening a map.

Can this node take my T9? No? Oh it's unique? Now I need to find a unique map? Why can't I put my T10 into this slot? Oh it's a T11 slot.

Compared to:

Ctrl + click = enter map

The direction of the game appears to be, to make Path of Exile beginner friendly, but this process is making already streamlined processes more time consuming and convoluted.

There was already a hotkey assigned to providing players more information (ALT), there is no need to build a whole UI to replace "ALT".

There are some great things about it, such as; now you can see which maps need completing.

This circles back to my question, for players who really do not want to deal with these additional systems in the future or the base game in general, is there the possibility to please have a delve only persistent league whereby players can jump into delve directly, not require sulphite and grind in peace?

Perhaps add boss specific drops to Delve bosses or global loot table for other items. etc?
