There is no good reason to think this.Why?
What do you think it is?
There’s not really anything in Scripture about believers receiving crowns in heaven.
The bible mentions several different crowns actually.There’s not really anything in Scripture about believers receiving crowns in heaven.

Like access to more of heaven.
Not sure about crowns mean more access. All I can say there is definitely an “awareness” that many won't have. The Bible even says not everyone will be able to enter the temple of the Lord, which is the Lord Himself and His city wont need light because He will be our light.
You don’t think that these could all be referring to the same thing?Crown of life -
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Crown of glory -
1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Crown of righteousness -
2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Imperishable crown -
1 Corinthians 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
Crown of rejoicing -
1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

I find that to be more misleading than helpful.
I see no reason to think that. As a matter of fact, I totally disagree.Crowns are mentioned here and there in Scripture. But they are unconnected metaphors, not a system of heavenly rewards.

What is your scripture or reference to think it’s a metaphor? Or your reasoning
