Sea water has a salinity of around 35g/kg.
No one wants pasta water as salty as the sea - although unsalted water doesn't sound much more appealing.
No one except everyone who wants their pasta to taste good. You need to add a ton of salt because most of it is going down the drain at the end.
Edit: ok, I stand corrected.
I think you underestimate how much salt that is.
What you just said is that you want to add in the range of 50-70g of salt depending on the size of your pan. That's too much salt
