If this were 3.5, I too want to reach 20, so you can actually build something fun other than gain more APR and Attack Bonus.

But this is 5E. You get fun new stuff to do every level. I'm fine with it. The things a level 12 party can do in 5E is incredible.
12 is fine. You can get 10 levels in warrior ethos for two APR and dip in something other. You can attain level six spells. You can grab three stat increases / feats.

Edit: And there is bound to be DLC coming, a BG4.... They have to leave room to expand a bit.
