...there would only be the Mixed division and everyone would play in it.

No, not everyone would play in it. Many (maybe most) would not play in a sanctioned tournament at all.
(Just speaking as an MA65 here, not for any other individuals or protected divisions.)
That's why we have divisions other than MPO, so more people will play.
Sometimes that's related to skill levels, sometimes it's not.
The reason I don't enter MPO has more to do with being considerate and not harshing their competitive vibe than it has to do with having no chance of winning. I often have no chance of winning in MA65 either, but I do like to play there.
