I agree with this and I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who would disagree unless you suddenly get hordes of hostile mobs day one! But after you are fully equipped and set up then having to fight off more random event baddies etc would push people into upgrading their base defense and add more content to the game and new surprises to keep it exciting and keep people innovating just in case bigger threats come along. You could even have it like after you interact with a pillager outpost they start marching out to where they discover your base is or something so it's like you are actually interacting with the Minecraft groups maybe even have villagers show up and try to do trades and it would be more like the AI is alive as they take note where you stay and come to visit you just like you do them more of a two way street and the bird, idk why we don't have birds but yeah just showing up and singing on a beautiful sunny day or more creepers showing up in a thunderstorm giving you more of a chance to make charged creepers and things would definitely make it feel more alive!!! New mobs in mass would be great and new bosses and better drops from old bosses instead of a simple sponge which you get way more from a sponge room than killing an ancient guardian or the dragon egg dropping a big one but also some small ones that could hatch would be very cool or a new weapon would push people to actually going and doing some of these things more especially if it made it a lot more likely that they might come visit you in return!!!
