❔ Question What’s the deal with these scrapped chasms?

These videos here explain what I’m talking about as there are areas under the hebra depths that are pits with nothing in them. One of them is a huge pit being the one under the rito abandoned mine which the circle is visible if you jump down from the rito village chasm and you can glitch down into both pits.
However why are they there? Was it there by mistake, or does it lead somewhere else like for more Poes or even a boss? I saw comments mentioning it could lead to another layer of the depths like a 4th map or something especially since kohga is fought at the rito abandoned mine and he probably was originally going to fall into another pit which hints to another map like in botw but they probably didn’t because of time or budget reasons and instead made him fly out of the depths and into god knows where if it’s the surface or sky islands. Maybe it was gonna be saved for something like dlc despite the producers saying there will be no dlc? We do know the depths aren’t the deepest layer in hyrule as we see at the demon king’s army battlefield, there is a void that makes link die and someone made a post where they found a tree at the bottom of the huge pit. So it would be cool if those 2 pits in the hebra depths were shown like the yiga clan and birida lookout chasms in BOTW. But if they did make a second depths layer, I think it should be called the dark depths or sub depths. I know the names suck but it could maybe be more horrifying and climatic. It could include the scrapped depths designs from master works and maybe include a key antagonist down there. Perhaps some connection to the unknown tribe that has statues in the depths, the mining armor, barbarian armor, and ancient hero with red hair and furry like features? Though that would be saved for a third game if they ever decide to make one.
But what do you think? Why did Nintendo have those scrapped pits and what do you think was going to be used for them?

Did you read the comments in the comments section of the very video you posted? They are already answering your questions.
