My question is, once you're in the Realm of Dungeons & Dragons, why would you want to escape?

I hope so!
"After 40 years of fighting a group of teenagers with attitude, Venger (still voiced by Peter Cullen!) breaks out into other campaign settings with the help of Tiamat. Now part of an evil supergroup with Bargle, Manshoon, Fistandantilus, and Keraptis, Venger has brought forth a new age of darkness, and only you can rescue the kids and, with the power of their artifacts, end this threat once and for all (or at least, exile the villains to Ravenloft)."

Because your dungeon master is a sadistic jerk who thinks the first monster that you should throw at first level characters is Tiamat
He also hands out artifact-level treasures to 1st level characters.
In conclusion, the Dungeon Master is a land of contrasts.
I think it means that WotC recognizes that boomers spend money; OSR is a market worth targeting.
Indoor plumbing.

Who needs indoor plumbing when prestidigitation is a cantrip, amirite?
Wait, we don't have that? I need to start checking my town maps for outhouses.
When you're right, you're right!

Well, according to the Adventure League Forgotten Realm Style Guide, larger cities in the North actually possess stuff like Printing Presses, Papers (probably also news papers if they got a printing press), and Noble Houses have actual running water.
So, I wouldn't be surprised if the more richer/aristocratic style of privileged living within DND would actually having buildings with indoor plumbing that utilizes the sewers and aqueducts. Your poorer villages/out in the middle of nowhere? Ya there's probably a Town Outhouse somewhere.
Hope the line for it isn't too long though.
Ah but you see, in the stinger, it turns out they brought Venger with them, so they had to go back!

Hey now, the DM has to put in a preview for the next Campaign.
Most major cities in the Realms do have extensive sewer systems. We see this for the first time I think in Eye of the Beholder.

I dunno - I started playing with second edition, and the D&D cartoon show was still way before my time - I didn't even know it existed until I was in college. I don't know if my 90s gaming group was an outlier, but I sort of wonder what the market is they're trying to court.
edit: Then again, I didn't know anyone interested in Spelljammer - we always played Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun, or homebrew - and that seems to have an awful lot of fans around here.
