Private servers always play with the numbers, I don't see how that's any different. If people are so concerned with the true experience, then why do they let something as fundamental as XP gain boosting slide?

Private servers play with the "numbers" because a lot of core information is no longer available. A lot of information like mob health, damage, scripts are interpreted from websites like Thottbot and old videos, but nothing is outrageously out of balance. And when it is, the community let's the developers know. With that said, these things are not fundamental to the classic experience, They aren't what made Vanilla unique. The only people with this correct information is Blizzard so I would hope they get it right.
What Blizzard is altering here is the way the game plays. Sharding is so counterintuitive to the Vanilla experience that there is no defending it. Having the correct amount of debuff slots, the correct instances, the correct world events, and the correct itemization is also important but to a lesser extent. An improper timeline trivializes content too quickly which is not good for the health of the game.
People just want to see the game they loved succeed.
