I said, how fast they can get to maximum value has no effect on that value itself.

If the value is 500 it doesn't get lowered to 400 because other classes get to 600 later. It's still 500.

So, your point that "people play this game for progression" does not matter to what that value number is.

So, in a comparison of overall (i.e. taking all aspects of the game into account) power level of classes, we can ignore a rogue's lack of soloing ability (which is a fairly important aspect of the game to many people), we can also ignore a mage's late game mediocrity.
Really we should ignore neither, but if you want to make an arbitrary exception, then everyone else gets to make one too.
The exceptions are not arbitrary. They are based on how people actually play the game. People generally don't solo on Rogues most of the time, because they understand Rogues are group dependent. If soloing is important to a player, they have a solo class they can use when they can't find a group on their Rogue.

The problem is you assume late game is not valuable. That is why you think you can ignore a Mage's late game mediocrity. The purpose of leveling is to get to late game, so you can't ignore it.

The question OP asked is not "most underpowered leveling class".
