Why do the new map variants not numbered?

In the past, the only map that actually had variants was Badham. This was fine due to the fact that each one was numbered, allowing newer players to still learn that the maps are different.

With that in mind, why are the newer map variants not numbered? Personally, I do not like the variants for a multitude of reasons

  1. Newer players will have a harder time learning new realms/maps
  2. Increased variety is not always good as there must be some consistency in order to learn the game
  3. Increased RNG leads to false balancing; one realm has maps good for either killer or survivor but it is random on who gets what

With that in mind, variants would be completely fine if they were numbered as it would help players know WHICH map they went on. So again, why are they not considering Badham IS numbered and is fine because of that?
