It was, in many ways, a continuation of the ideas of late 3e. Additionally, many games that are still popular now have taken lessons from 4e, such as PF2 and 13th age. So its design ideas are still relevant. Finally, many people today still believe 4e solved or nearly solved many of the issues with D&D and would like to see more 4e design in 5e or an eventual 6e.  So while you may not feel it is relevant, I lot of other people do.I agree that Crawford's statement is BS, but I do think they want to keep this an evergreen edition. They have been saying it for 10 years, no reason not to believe them at this point. The only thing that will move them to make a 6e is what has always motivated an edition change - poor sales.</blockquote>
