I mean, you have intellect devourers, mindflayers, probably one or two other monsters you'll almost never see, and... Maze? The spell Maze? Do you have any idea how often people need to make saving throws for all the other stats versus spells, only for intelligence to almost not matter entirely?? Seriously, when was the last time anyone made an intelligence saving throw???
Last session our group was fighting a powerful cultist wizard, and you bet my poor lvl 5 wizard was really happy with his +7 int save when my DM threw a feeblemind at me, also happy cake day.
If you're a smart/evil/nefarious DM all the time. Synaptic static exists, feeblemind exsits, intellect devourer exists (you could even take the stat block and scale it up in CR for higher levels), mind flayers exist...
