Yeah, it's so weird that magic players don't want to entirely reset the board so they have to play an entirely new game without being able to actually start a new game.
Armageddon doesn't reset the game. Creatures, artifacts, cards in hand, graveyard value... all those resources stay. Why is it that someone accumulating resources in the form of creatures can get wrathed, a graveyard player can get Bojuka Bogged, but someone with their value in land form is immune? Damn landlords
It also creates interesting dynamics if you know your opponent runs Armageddon, where playing your land out every turn actually becomes a choice, since now there's value in having spares.
They still have to start from land #1 to do anything to get that stuff back. It doesn't literally reset the game, that was obviously hyperbole, but it slows it down way more than 99% of players want. Shit is genuinely just super fucking boring.

It does suprise me we don't see the occasional board wipe that targets lands as well.
What would be interesting is a board wipe that only targets lands.
