Yeah this is valid and I wonder if, longer-term, D&D maybe will need to like separate out at least a couple of brands, maybe more. Right now, and it's understandable, WotC seem to be heading Disney-ward (I don't offer this as a criticism or snark), and trying to make D&D into a very safe and fairly broad brand (Disney has its own issues with inclusivity, esp. towards LGBTQ+ people, which actually is linked to this but probably another separate sub-discussion). I think in the short term that's reasonable, but I think in the longer term, they may want their Star Wars and Marvel equivalents, which are both quite a bit edgier than the Disney brand, in their own ways. They've got an absolute wealth of ways they could do that, from separating out an "Advanced" D&D again (probably not) to making a setting-specific thing, to introducing some kind of new branding or whatever. Sorry may be getting ahead of us here.
