That's because Thrawn wasn't actively trying to go after Ezra in the first place and figured he was either dead or irrelevant.

Ezra only ended up back on his radar because Sabine was looking for him and he had two Dark Jedi willing to do his dirty work.

And yet for a tactical genius we know that Ezra will be a factor for what undoes him in the end.

What else was he doing over there? He had no plan other than wait to be rescued. Surely it wouldn't take a genius to figure out that Ezra would be a potential headache whenever someone did arrive? He has another potential headache in Sabine but lets her go because he felt like he owed her. So he's not particularly ruthless either.

It wasn't even him that did anything to begin with. It was the witches who managed to call across the galaxy for someone to get them.

Except it's well-established that those "nervous crab people" are constantly on the move precisely because of the Raiders and whatever else exists on that planet. It's possible the last location they were in WAS dangerous. And that place clearly has some ties to the Force considering Baylan's own motives (whatever they may be), so it could very well still be dangerous for a Jedi.

The problem this show has is that we always just have to take the word of these characters when nothing we see backs any of it actually up. Thrawn is a big threat because he's Thrawn. Not because of the actions and history of the character and this universe.

It lacks substance. I'd respect it more if Thrawn was treated as someone who has been ignored and underestimated by the wider galaxy so he can deliver something sinister and shocking later. Instead it wants to have these high stakes immediately.

As is this is very similar to the same plot The Rise of Skywalker did with Palpatine but with a cartoon villain instead.
