"Placate" doesn't mean "perfectly replicate the original experiences of".It doesn't. If you play old school D&D you'll notice the difference immediately.
Its plays D&Ds greatest hits on a superficial level.
I've run OSR recently and a 1E adventure. Rejecting 4E had multiple reasons.

They've (over)simplified some things, streamlined others. I don't see a dramatic increase in complexity myself or significant power creep. Some classes became more powerful, some less while most monsters got a needed upgrade while also being easier to run.Its laid out better but its more complicated to play.
Good luck adapting older adventures if you're a newbie. Power creep.

If you don't like the revisions that's fine. I just disagree with your assessment for multiple reasons.
It's funny, we moved to 3.5 from 3e almost immediately, it was just seen as a flat-out improvement by our gaming groups. Not the same with 5e24! BUT it's also, what, 20 years later? So we're definitely different players/consumers/DMs as well- hard to tell.As the 3e to 3.5e jump was fairly similar, I wonder what the % was of people playing 3.5e just a year after its release?
I moved over ASAP as well. Similar reason but also young and 2E to 3E was 1st edition cycle from the company we experienced.It's funny, we moved to 3.5 from 3e almost immediately, it was just seen as a flat-out improvement by our gaming groups.
