Item rarity in maps should be based on waystone drop chance

What's the point of doing a 5 affix map if one of them isn't "% increased rarity of items"? I feel like this is something that should be tied directly to the waystone drop chance. Then it makes it worth loading affixes on a map and can make it more rewarding imo. Instead of just making a map harder for no reward other than "300% way stone chance!" while 90% of those waystones that drop are below tier 10.

because
Contains x pack means more monsters
More packs means more kills which means more drops
Tying rarity to number of affixes on maps, which isnt even how it worked in poe1 would only widen the gap for meta builds over non-meta builds.

Meta builds are expensive, shiver me timbers!
That has nothing to do with rarity, without it those 200-700 divs will just be 20-70 with the same barrier of entry.
The issue isnt MF, again, its streamers knowingly calling 200-700div builds budget, telling their fans what to buy but not how much it costs.
