Because that's what contributed to its success as a campaign setting and established its fanbase. Dark Sun fans would vastly prefer a "Lord of the Rings" version of Dark Sun over a "Rings of Power" one. However, the latter seems far more likely seeing who's in charge of D&D these days.

Sooooo, you can defile but if you do you lose your character? What kind of a choice is that? 3.5e had the best defiling mechanic for dark sun (it was in Dragon magazine). You defile plant life and gain defiler points which ended up being a corruption mechanic. The more you take, the more your...

Thundercats? Cool. Oh, it's 5e, nevermind.
