Monetary treasure is cut back drastically, and there is some trimming back for magic--though its not 100% consistent in how much is cut. I usually put some back in. Its hard to compare across editions. 5E doesn't build them in like 3E and 4E, but items can be very important. In 1e and 2e you basically needed items. The DM of course controlled all, but they were strongly assumed. A lot for recovery and healing, which was very hard and slow without magic.  (the original Ravenloft module, for example, had wishes and equivalent scattered around for drained PCs). Some to make up for the pacity of spells that even mid-level casters could cast, and for the magic-user to learn new spells, which was not automatic. Some to make your fighter truly able to hang with the casters. And of course many just for fun.</blockquote>
