The essential struggle of Korach was over the soul-root of the generation
After the incident with the Spies, G-d declared that that first generation - whose divine consciousness was "male" - would perish in the desert and only the next generation - a "female" divine consciousness - would enter the Land of Israel. This change was necessary in
order for them to enter the Land of Israel and concretize the abstract
consciousness of the first generation.

Korach refused to reconcile because his quarrel was not "for the sake of heaven."
Korach was a Levite and moreover was
the head of the Levites; he embodied the highest aspect of all states of
gevura, whereas Aaron embodied the highest aspect of all states of
chesed. Their natures are fundamentally
opposed and this was the basis
of Korach’s quarrel.
