Also he doesn't do anything scary. (Destiny)

Right but even in your list your major points on most of them is they look scary or that they cause a wipe. The whole point of the Aksis fight is that SIVA is the threat, Aksis is just the focal point, hence the main mechanic behind dying is the inevitable SIVA overload if you fail that kills you all. In the previous raids the big bad IS the big bad (and even then, they don't directly wipe you).

I actually find the look of Aksis much creepier than any of the previous end bosses in Raids. Atheon is just a guy, Crota is just big knight, Oryx is intimidating, but not exactly scary. And I very rarely died from ANY of them with the exception of Crota when I was the swordbearer. For 99% of my final encounters in raids the bad guy is not the least bit scary. He may cause a wipe, but it's almost always because of some wipe mechanic, and not because of them being directly threatening.
