While this may be true (I bought Fizban instead of Witchlight last night) how can you have a generic monster book, if its impossible to remove the setting from stat blocks?In Witchlight, the "bullywug knight" is cultural and setting specific.
It seems impossible to remove setting from monster statblocks.
It makes more sense to embrace statblocks as a DM setting-building tool.
And if its impossible for 'faceless' monsters to be setting agnostic, why is it seemingly required for player races to be divorced from setting?
