It's just that the people who like Greyhawk the most are those who were around when it was first in print. And the number of these gamers is unlikely to grow. To attract new, younger gamers you have to write settings that they will like. Tastes change over time, after all.
That must be why Living Greyhawk is so popular. Wait, that would be an argument against your position...sorry. I saw plenty of new gamers (even a ten-year-old) playing LG and enjoying the setting immensely. Numerous volunteers toil to keep GH alive for new players and from the looks of the RPGA forums on the WoTC site, it seems like LG is the most popular of the four D&D campaigns they run. I think new Greyhawk material would be a huge inflow for WoTC. Us "old gamers" are the ones with the spending power and we're not buying FR and Eberron stuff (well, I did buy the main FR and Eberron books and I'm sure other GH fans are buying FR and Eberron stuff in the abscence of any GH support).
