I can only imagine that it’s just blander because “mild” here is pretty much spiceless. Hot is baseline mild spice. Extra spicy is what I think of as being spicy, and then everything above that is if you want the burn but none of the flavor.
You’d be surprised. Having cooked for white friends who’ve never eaten anything vaguely spicy, it turns out the human tongue is capable of being set on fire by a single scoville.
Fwiw when you get used to spicy food you still get good flavors coming through even with really hot peppers. Ther s always this weird double standard in these threads where people want to be dismissive of people who like bland food but also really spicy food.
