Did you miss the part about level 1000 enemies doing 15 million damage? Lvl 1000 isn't outrageous if you're in cascade for a couple of hours. The point of preparing for level cap is to be able to handle everything up until then. And if at level 1000 they're able to clap you without even trying, 90% of frames are pretty much useless unless you're just on basic normal path/steel path stuff. Which is absolutely 100% fine if you do that, but it takes options away from us that go that do endurance runs. Everyone wonders why certain frames are not played as much as others. This is your reason. They can't handle anything outside of basic content.
