The Guide of Dungeon Mastery is a work of lucubratory edification (perforce, as the dissemination and promulgation of scholarly works for the purpose of better referee cognition and aptitude is universally held to be the antithesis of obtuse tomfoolery).
Spot f-ing on! Well played!

And I don’t hate it…Gygax is partially responsible for my rocking GRE vocabulary score ;)

Looking over the chapter structure again, I agree with @Parmandur that the surprise stuff is likely a setting and its map, which would let the campaign construction chapter be its own thing, with references to the fuller setting at the end.

If they intend to release a Forgotten Realms setting book in 2024 alongside these core books, I can see the 2024 DMG including Greyhawk. But without that on-ramp, I think it's more likely to be the Forgotten Realms.

If they wanted to do something smaller and more self-contained, though, they have other throwback options. I don't know how many people would be agitating for it, but Thunder Rift would work great as a freebie setting taking up only one chapter of the DMG. (Sorry, Jakandor.)
