95% of builds on Path of Exile scale with special uniques or powerful rares
The reason it is still fun after 20+ hours of play is because of the skill and gear progression that comes with most builds in the game. 95% of builds on PoE scale with special uniques or powerful rares as well as getting gear that has more linked sockets (5 socketed and linked sockets on gear are a lot more rare than 4 linked gear, and 6 linked gear extremely rare and endgame to acheive in most cases). Both of these will change will change how the skill works/increase their damage output significantly, making you want to progress even more to see how far you can take a build idea.
So the long and short of it is yes in it's most basic form the fun of playing the same skill over a long period is to see the returns of your investment into the skill and seeing how far you can take it, which is much more rewarding than it sounds due to the sheer complexity and number of options the game has to offer.

The beacon of corruption pools and the golems' aoe spells are already quite small and I found decreasing it further to be rather frustrating.

Shaper seeds are tier based
Farming a specific map doesn't increase it's drop rate, it will just narrow the layout down. The benefits are to the market though. More map trading probably.
