If you have a Veteran zone with better rewards, all of it will be ignored except for what gives good XP and good rewards with minimal effort -- and then like Alik'r they'll get a huge mob and mow it down too easily -- veteran zone difficulty won't matter. If the reward doesn't match the EFFORT (not difficulty necessarily), people will just ignore it.
There ARE harder bosses (Bittergreen? Thodundor? Vvardenfell bosses?) and there IS harder overland content (Craglorn). You don't see people doing that much. Think about why.
Furthermore, everything you want is already basically done in dungeons and trials.
Harder mobs, harder bosses, more and theoretically better loot -- that's basically a dungeon, vet dungeon, and trials.
And they LIMIT the number of people AND direct the entire encounter in dungeons and trials FOR GOOD REASON -- so you don't get a huge mob farming something over and over very quickly. Which some people can sort of do anyway, but there's no reason to deliberately make getting goodies an easy-push-button experience like Alik'r.
You want hard? Grind trials. Veteran hard mode dungeons. That's what they are there for.
