OP is right, wild is unbearable to play - but still better than the new classic mode.
Yeah idk why they thought a classic mode would be fun. It’s fun for a few games till you realize the meta is already known and everyone’s playing the same few decks and it will always be people playing those same few decks
They probably did it because they introduced classic or remade other games.
You have WoW classic, Warcraft 3 remake, Starcraft HD, Diablo 2 remake is next. So why not Hearthstone too as well while they are at it.

And also because the community won't shut up about classic mode, people often don't realize the impact of such drastic decisions, that's why they unnerfed Raza and that's why there are people calling for Patches unnerf, too much blind nostalgia.
That’s the thing about Nostalgia, it’s almost always blind. Rarely is revisiting something that you’ve already done before going to give you the feeling you had when you first had that experience. It’s usually the feeling of newness at the time which made it exciting and fun and when you are lacking fun, you think back to times when you had fun, but since it won’t be new or exciting, it won’t give you that fun for very long.
WoW classic is a bit different than hearthstone having a classic mode. Even in vanilla WoW, there was a lot of content, and many players never got to play during vanilla so they missed out on a lot of that content’s feeling because it was basically ez mode if they even decided to go through everything. You can play for a hundred hours and still have things to do. Hearthstone on the other hand, will take a couple hours and you could have played AND played against every deck in the classic mode meta, and every game feels the same since the only real rng aspect is the draw. It’s a couple hours of content at best, maybe a bit more if you really feel like grinding an additional ladder.

Once you hit legend in wild, the meta is pretty fun. Wide variety of stuff, even in top 500 legend. Secret mage, big Priest, and Darkglare warlock are all there of course, but this month in top 500 ive also seen odd DH, token druid, jade druid, deathrattle hunter, even hunter, freeze mage, reno mage, odd paladin, libram paladin, benedictus thief priest, reno priest (plenty of those in uppder legend), kingsbane rogue, Odd rogue, mill rogue (me), cutlass rogue, havent seen any shaman since hitting legend, though in diamond there was big shaman, discard warlock, reno warlock, bomb warrior, pirate warrior, and odd warrior.
There is a higher concentration of secret mage, darkglare warlock, and reno priest (not as much big priest in legend), but the meta is still pretty diverse. Just have to get through diamond and then you can start having more fun.
