You can say the same thing about Multhorand and most of the Old Empires as well. It's not a surprise that during the Spellplague, most of the "basically fantasy x" cultures got yeeted off Toril and replaced. That said, there was a discussion had about monsters with unique cultural identity (genies and raksasha were the examples) and if its okay to use such creatures if the setting doesn't have a cultural equivalent to balance it. (IE you shouldn't use genies if your don't have a fantasy Arabia). I think solely to avoid that kind of concern, you'll see Faerun keep these Fantasy X parts, if only to justify oni or genies. (It also helped fill out the example human ethnicity section of the PHB to show their are people oh all colors on Toril). But as for actually developing these areas? I think WotC has no appetite for it.</blockquote>
