Because they stated that they would be updating several classic settings, including revisiting one that has already been published in 5e. Since pretty much every setting was mentioned and briefly described on page 68 of DMG, what would that leave to be updated but not revisited in your theory?But “revisit” doesn’t mean a setting book or a whole book does it? Could be from the DMG or something else they’ve done. That laboratory thing that went to the temple from the AD&D PHB cover could count.
It's true, it could mean a lot of things. Context suggests that Winninger meant something more like Van Richten's Guide than Ghost og Saltmarsh...but maybe not. An Adventure in Eberron would make some sense, given how popular it is. We are just speculating, but given the advances in Setting presentation since SCAG came out, the limited scale of SCAG (relatively, the SCAG region is about the size of Europe, for goodness sake), and WotC stated desire to recontextualize problematic elements in the game, a Forgotten Realms book focused, say, the Heartlands would make a lot of sense.But “revisit” doesn’t mean a setting book or a whole book does it?

Why is FR the favorite? Is there a quote or something other than the “revisit” quote?

And in Tales from the Yawning Portal, too (though that had an FR adventure too and the framing device of Waterdeep). And it's been at least discussed in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.Don't forget Greyhawk. Ghosts of Saltmarsh was set in Greyhawk.
Because it's the most popular D&D setting by far.
