PoE1&2 Perpetual Character Development

I played PoE1 for years. I was invited to indulge my interest in PoE2 and am kickin some casual lvl 90s play. Something that haunted me in PoE1 and in all other games like this today is that I cannot 'path' my most beloved character(s) through leagues.

How come my beloved sorc Sect_Sea cannot be reborn in a league with nothing as a new character arrives, but on her character interface, and possibly visible to others, is a character history that reads she was 93 when she pathed out of Standard into league for the first time. I get so weary of 'starting' new character personalities and none are ever given the chance to do more than be 100 in 1 league. It's not the same as starting a new artificial personality (character).

Years from now I'd like my sorc to reveal a character history that reports a series of leagues have been enjoyed with this one character.

For example, using fictional league names:

Sect_Sea sorc achievement history:
93 Standard
95 Delve League
91 Blight League
96 Trepidation League
100 Reactor League

To build a character history that is 4 leagues rich would take a minimum of 4x3=12 months, modified by the gaps between leagues where you get to enjoy Standard for a time while we group and show off our robust character portfolios.
