Wipe doesnt make much sense in my opinion.

Like I said. The game itself like you guys say has not much content. So why even make a whipe when you can be at the same point in 10 hours. You know i mean ?

Because it's not easy for the whole development group including their directions to completely overhaul the whole game as it is. If you think about it, you created a game that plays very fun and is in a good pace because it's meant to be finished in rather a month or less, now imagine having to extend that gameplay period to a year or two to finish it, you can put gate blocks to extremely slow down the progression while having the same game, this will make people outrage, you won't play this, I won't play this, nobody will play the same game but in 10~15x slower pace because it'll be straight up boring. The other way is to make more content, maybe 10x of what they have, from scratch, and re-adjust every single material, their drop rates, required materials count, aka balancing, more or less every single behavior of the game in it's current state.
Essentially, creating a whole new game.
It will not happen, the studio can't throw all the expense they have made for the game just to discard it now, the threads are all about rants or threats to the game, some even insult people who enjoy the game, it got ridiculous.

This is the game and this is how it plays, it's a take it or leave it situation, it's free to try, free to leave as well. One thing you could ask that makes sense is for them to bring a game mode that's permanent and exclude it from season mechanics.

Helldivers didn't lose it's popularity due to it's game mode, also I would call HD a gigantic success living that long enough with extreme playerbase count with a high price tag as for being a lobby based game, any game is bound to lose it's peak maybe except few miracle exceptions

Taken from the FAQ on Wipes
"IV. Why does each scenario last six weeks?
Different scenarios have different durations. The two existing scenarios are 6 weeks in length. Future scenario seasons might have longer or shorter durations. There might also be some permanent scenarios for players to enjoy in the game."
Shows that they are potentially already thinking of adding permanent non wiping scenarios.

no it does not. ark, no wipe, conan, no wipe. 7 days to die, no wipe. project zomboid, no wipe, gray zone. no wipe. stranded deep. no wipe

Project Zomboid has a wipe Mechanic. You Die. Games intro tells you that :P "This is how you died" Power Shuts off and your food goes bad. Or you git bit. Game over. Not really meant to last for an extremely long time in this one unless you mod the game. As a 2nd note, all of these games have options to host your own Private server. Imagine a Project Zomboid Public server with no loot re spawn and it's been up for 6 weeks.

but and follow me closely.. if i was just good enough to survive. grow my farm. never get caught by a runner. then would i just randomly lose all my stuff one day or would it be there tomorrow when i got on. so who really gotcha. you gotcha yourself

gray zone does have wipes, the devs have stated it will on rotation like tarkov.
Ark can wipe its community based decisions,
Same for Conan,
7 Days to die has had wipes with save incompatibility - its a single player game primarily
Project Zomboid - Same as 7 days to die. Using these both as examples is utterly brain dead.

yep and it also feels good to start from same as everyone else

Its a good way for a game to Keep Attracting new players thats for sure. I for one don't mind the wipe cause I've been on game servers that are survival based with no wipe. Not as Extreme as this, They use the Building Decay Mechanic to free up areas. The server I played on was the "Newest" Server for that game, and everywhere already felt lived in as I traveled. Can kinda take the wind out of your sales joining a server that doesn't feel new to the new player. (Pun intended)
