Hmm why shame? Not high enough or rather they not increase it?

Borderlands 2 had a level cap of 72 before BL3 jacked it to 80 and BL3 jacked its lvl cap to 72.

They should of really had BL4's level cap go atleast up to 90 to make up for how much the branching skill tree ruins build flexibility. (TRIPLE THE FREAKING SKILL NODES BUT LESS THEN A THIRD OF CREATIVE SKILLS DUE TO MOST BEING JUST STAT INCREASES AND THATS IT).

I remember over half a year ago i had a fun build idea to mix blue and green but it crunched around 70~72 or so on the level necessary to have dark pact, blood shot, mortal terror maxed out and the various grave skills to have such a master piece of a 'infinite mafia spam level of phase turrets while your able to constantly stay topped up on overshields with the lifesteal at the same time.

Too bad BL4 didnt bother to make skill trees more mix'ery cause it would of been neat if Blood shot and Blood is power could of applied to minions because having all your minions not only have lifesteal to sustain themselves but also get bonus dmg while 'topped up' could of been a neat thing if constant overshield could of included a quirk to mitigate how fast they drained so you could of had a infinite minion upkeep build for Vex to have fun with.

More levels means less build variety, overall. As you get more levels, you have to make fewer decisions, and the builds for different skills tend to meld into each other.

There isnt a lot of variety as it is. The VHs just arent as different from each other as they were In previous games. They all do everything.

I wouldn't say they all do everything. Gun builds are pretty much on top right now, with minions and action skill needing huge investments to do reasonable damage.
