The role of a setting, be it in a game, novel, movie, or story, is to support what is being told. Many stories are enhanced, or perhaps only able to be told in a particular way, buy the setting. While it can be relegated to the background, doing so leaves very useful tools on the ground, unused. Crafting the same story in Forgotten Realms and Dark Sun is missing out on all the opportunities the setting gives you. In some ways the setting is another character in the story.The purpose of a setting is not to be enjoyed, it's to provide a background against which the game can be enjoyed.
