Frankly, they've butchered enough lore and made it official since the purchase of TSR. They have written several re-hashed (or" inspired by" , if "you prefer)  adventures and jammed them into the Forgotten Realms for the past 5 years.  As I mentioned somewhere else, there is a Tiefling  running around Saltmarsh selling magic items for fish to send back to Iuz, all with the approval of Keolands's King- completely antithetical to GH canon/lore-They obviously don't care too much for immersion. Every time WOTC has come out with a new edition, they re-write the settings  to match the rules. WOTC has been breaking immersion when it comes to TSR campaign settings since 1998. Everyone has their threshold for accepting immersion breaking- maybe this is yours? Mine was pretty much 3 Editions ago. This "what if", if done right would actually be interesting, NEW, and would leverage all/most of their IP into one big adventure path/storyline. Also introducing more major villains of each setting actually may get younger players interested in those settings. Sorcerer Kings, Vecna, Tharizdun, other Domain Lords like Ankthepot/Lord Soth, The Lady of Pain, are just as great villiains/foes as  the Draconians, Giants, Drow/Kuo Toa/Svirfneblin/Mind Flayers, Halastar etc.  they have already used (over again and again)<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937.png" title="Person shrugging    :person_shrugging:" data-shortname=":person_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
