I do not know if He is pleased in the sense of Happy, what I do know is there end is sealed from the beginning and cannot be changed. There is no blood shed for the reprobate in ANY sense at all.
I fully agree that Christ did not die for the reprobate, and that there is no hypothetic universalism. However, this does not mean that, in some sense, God does not desire the wicked to repent.
Then you need to figure out what that sense is Daniel, not me.
This presupposes that no Biblical truths are above human reason.
