I think it's more reasonable to compare zones that the devs worked on in the same year.

Well I wasn't the one comparing Vanguard to vanilla WoW, Luclin, and EQ2.
The better question is why are people expecting a small indie MMO team to develop a pre-alpha that's graphically superior to a modern fully-released title that's developed by one of the largest and richest game studios in the world.
I'd
hope that modern WoW looks better, jeez.
I still play and enjoy classic EQ, DAoC, and WoW. The Faerthale trailer is obviously a massive graphical advancement from those games. If the game looks that nice and plays like a classic MMORPG then I'll be perfectly happy and probably quit working for a year.
I'll agree that Pantheon looked a bit rough at first but a lot of the recent images have looked nice. It looks like a world that I want to explore and have an adventure in.
I especially like the images they've released recently of vast empty landscapes with nice geography. It feels so much more like an actual world and it reminds me a bit of games like Breath of the Wild. In WoW everything has a very obvious purpose, it feels more like a game where things were placed into it to be interacted with by players than a real fantasy world.
