Yes, but they know what they want to put in the book, and don't go overboard and waste time designing things that won't make it into a book if they can avoid it. Ravnica had 3 playtest subclasses in Unearthed Arcana, the Order Cleric, Spores Druid, and Brute Fighter. The Brute Fighter was dropped because it was too similar to the Barbarian.
They didn't test 12 subclasses for Ravnica, Wildemount, or Eberron. They're not going to put that many subclasses in a setting book, or plan to do so. They have some idea of what they're going to do in the book, and they know what themes the community will probably like.
Trust me, the other subclasses will either be dropped due to unpopularity, or they will be in Xanathars 2.0. The majority of them will make their way to Xanathar's 2.0, I'm fairly sure. Just wait. Not much of a point of debating it now.
