Sure, Enchanters on live soloed Hate, so it was definitely possible ... during Planes of Power.
But show me any evidence that they did so even during the Luclin era (with AA's like Dire Charm, spells like KEI, etc.), let alone during the classic era.
I'm willing to bet $5 neither you, nor a good classic researcher, can even find such evidence ... despite Live having what: 10? 20? times as many servers as we have? All full of Necros wanting books, Mages wanting Hate staffs (even just per server, live had far more mages without epics than we have, because they didn't even know how the quest worked until Kunark was nearly done), and so on.
It's not that it wasn't done because it was possible, and no one tried it ... it wasn't done because things that are possible in our emulator weren't possible on live.

Have the last 20 years of people obsessing over this game meant nothing?
But seriously, all you have to do is look towards a community like speed-running. People are still breaking high scores and times for games released 40 years ago. (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong)
It's because the more time something is out, the more people will eventually pick it up and tinker with it. And then someone figures out some trick that no-one thought of before and starts using it. And that trick gets passed down - and then more time goes by, and someone else picks up the trick and starts tinkering with it.

It's far inside the realm of possibility that people are using tricks now that nobody thought of, and are using them to cheese aspects of this game.
I certainly hope that's the case, and not that people are just recycling the same tactics from 23 years ago when servers had thousands of concurrent players at a time
