Spelljammer Dark Sun confirmed? Or, the mysterious case of the dissappearing Spelljammer article...

I think elemental deities work better as Feats from special backgrounds, like Dragonlance. Have a Knowledge Cleric with your chosen Elemental background. Have a Light Cleric of Water (bioluminescent life) and so on.

Similar to what we saw in UA recently...

Bloat. It took 5 years and multiple iterations to get 1 new Class, and WotC hasn't made a single.test for a new Class since Eberron came out, 3 years ago. Don't count on it happening again.

They put it into action, too, it's as easy as 123.

Bloat is meaningless to me as a motivator. I want what I want. You are right about corporate philosophy though. Unfortunately.

Indeed!

One of the side effects of my being generally easy to please, is that I tend to speculate on WotC product strategy based on what I see as actually likely rather than what I think they ought to do.

Not only are Eberron's gods not real, by canon, one of the things that empowers clerics there is a philosophy

the problem of that is what makes it empower you and what determines what power you get?
also, why would it be any different to arcane magic?

the problem is if they get too comfortable and keep doing what they are doing it will fail as fundamentally shake-ups keep people coming back

That's an active question in Eberron. Maybe it is just a different form of Arcane magic, nothing in the rules against that.

That's why they are doing things like Magic books and Critical Role licenses, or Rick & Morty box sets. Rules as an end in and of themselves have not had a good track record.

You can do both, don't have to be exclusive to one or the other!
