Finally choosing to do something (which you initially suggested) because it receives a large approval rating isn't the same as choosing to do it ONLY because it gets the largest number of paying customers... even though they can and do align..Ok now I'm totally confused...If this is your example of what avoiding strict appeal to popularity and good for the business... I find it even harder to give credence to the argument that WotC has steadily gone down a road of prioritizing what is good for the business and it's originally majority cis-white heterosexual male audience to where they are now with things like... The Radiant Citadel (which I brought up previously and it was dismissed), with their more diverse artwork, their movie which features 3 out of 4 main characters as PoC, their public statements about diversifying their leadership (which received backlash from many in the OSR... wonder why), public playtests so they can get a better feel on what ALL of their fans want and so on.  I'm not seeing how that argument can be made with any type of credibility if this is an example of the criteria.</blockquote>
