I don’t like roll low, though some % based games make up for it by otherwise being excellent. I don’t like yet another disparate sub-system for AD&D, which was my biggest problem with AD&D
Over the years I have built up quite a bit of resistance to buying new rpgs, for the reasons mentioned above.
But then once in a while resistance will breakdown and I make an impulse purchase. Results are pretty random, but it does not happen very often.
For the those 3 products implied in the OP it’s not about lore, it’s about lackluster execution.
CoS is one of the most successful D&D products of all time. It has plenty of updated lore, it’s just better.
I think we know the top two. Ravenloft, if CoS is treated as a version of I6, has to pretty much be number 3.
I don't think Sunless is 4. 3e was pretty popular, but not B/X or AD&D popular. And it had some serious competition, lots of good adventures for 3e thanks to the OGL.

I still think of the site in terms of what it was then, and what it was after. Then wonder things like “maybe buttercup is still here, and I am just on her ignore list”

Maybe PHB and Vecna. Agree that the DMG and MM seem much less likely in May.
(If Vecna comes out early, would be interesting if they post a PDF or something through D&D beyond with updated monster stats)…
The whole (sub) edition lasted just 4 years, and had just over 50 products. (Are there 50 5e products?) Skimming them they really are a mixed bag.
