Sweeet cos Way of the Wicked is a superior product so far.I agree so much I'm not waiting for them to do it. Check out Throne of Night. It's basically Kingmaker meets Vault of the Drow.

There are also a lot of levels in between "railroad" and "sandbox" - my old group played Kingmaker, but tended to come at it pretty straight. They encountered the bandits at Oleg's and then had to move on to defeat each group of bandits until beating the Stag Lord. They never really got to any of the exploration due to my having to end the campaign early.
(And, yes, they knew they had to do the exploring, but thought the bandit threat was more important than exploring right away)

Carrion Crown and Jade Regent have their fans. And Skull & Shackles is cool, but is new (and likely less sandboxy than expected).Not only that, the more recent APs haven't really wowed folks.

The newer ones people have less time to have gone through them. Also, the more that come out the greater the competition is for APs a group will use. I imagine at some point the product line is going to be competing with itself.
