I never got the sense that you have to do multiple playthroughs to hit max level unless you are just speed running the story. Hell with TTWL I hit max level well before the end, same with 3.

Borderlands 3 is the first game that they changed it. Mayhem mode allows enemies to scale to your level.

But before that, each playthrough had a level cap. In the first Borderlands, you weren't reaching the cap without doing a "playthrough 2 run" and Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel each needed 3 playthroughs. Once on normal to unlock True Vault Hunter mode. Then, beating True Vault Hunter mode unlocked Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, and UVHM was the playthrough where you could finally hit max level.

And of course, my other gripe is that this is all per character. I really hope that Borderlands 4 takes a Diablo approach. Beat the story once, and then every character on that account after that can jump straight into the post game and grind.
