Percentage of ionization of different acid/base will vary in water, like-H2SO4>H2SO3 or HI>HCl. So there will be different concentration of H3O+ /OH- for different acid/base. Then why according to 'Levelling effect of water' all the acids/ base will have same strength in water?

"Mixing an acid or base with water results in decrease in the concentration of ions(H3O/OH-) per unit volume"

Acid when mixed with water gives out H+ ions which because they cannot exist alone form H3O ions. Then how does the concentration 'decrease' ?

When acids and bases are mixed in water why is there a decrease in the H30+ or OH- ions
