Not a psychologist or anything but isnt it healthy for a child to overcome a fear and not just avoid it

Also not a psychologist, but I would say that’s only true if the fear keeps them from enjoying life
As adults, we design our living spaces to be comfortable to us. We don’t intentionally make them scary so we can overcome.

Speak for yourself. My home is entirely sharp angles and unsecured towers of broken glass and rubbing alcohol suspended in petroleum jelly that also slicks the floor. I will rook no weakness in my home.

Dealing with ones fear should be learned at an early age. I didn’t start dealing with my fears until I was 17.

What stopped you from doing so prior to that?

Fears are a tough thing to face.

Who intended for the closet to be a scary void?

The people who think not having it be one means children are avoiding rather than overcoming their fears
It may not have been intended as such originally, but if you defend the design on that basis, it becomes intentional.

If your kid can’t overcome a closet you’ve got bigger issues. I’m sorry but this entire thought process is too much.

Comfort ya. But we do not succumb to irrational fears either. Our more to the point, it may not be healthy to say place ten locks on our doors because we think someone is trying to break in always.
