One of them to can add new elements from the last editions, for example new PC races and classes, other because start almost from zero again allows higher creative freedom   but I guess the main reason is the old metaplot becomes obsolet, and then the players want to buy the new books and not only the PDFs from the previous editions, or only reading the fandom wiki, even lots of own homebred new ideas, some of them published by 3PPs in DM Guild. The flaw is this can cause a jumping the shark effect.* When I think about Ravenloft I remember lots of horror movies what aren't directly linked with gothic horror, for example the tall man, the gravers(sentient undeads) and lurkers(undead dwarf minions) from the saga "Phantasm", some mangas (for example..Gyo), or videogames as the comingsoon Back 4 Blood. * I would rather dread domains allowed to be together to create stories of "international conflicts" or fights between the different dark lords. For example the illithid elder brain would sent mind-controlled spies to other domains, at least to buy slaves and food.  * I wonder about Fakovnia as a "Hellmouth" or a planar rift, and the undeads are from a second secret layer in the demiplane. * Is there any relation between the demiplane of the dread and the negative quasi-elemental planes (salt, dust, ash and vacuum)? * The line between tragedy and dark comedy is very blurred. If we abuse a trope this becomes usells, for example the killed girlfriend found in the refrigerator. You should remember what happens when a famous and popular marvel superhero dies but we know some day he or she will come back. * What if Vlad Drakov is still canon, but nobody knows he was killed by a time-traveler from an alternate future?* Do you think there is any potential conflict between the dark powers and Tharizdum, the elder elemental eye? It would be a surprise if the players discover their anti-undead item is useless as corrupted paraelementals. And this being so mad even he betrays himself, his incarnation or avatar becomes independient and rogue, rebelling against his "father", and manipulating mortals against the other elemental-eye cults.* Usually there aren't too many outsiders in Ravenloft, but some "digievolution" of the "<a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ekolid" target="_blank">ekolid</a>" could be possible, even with a twisted touch.<img src="https://1d4chan.org/images/5/54/Ekolid.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
