Even if that market is not interested in playing D&D, WOTC has the marketing power to change the traditional face of what we all come to expect what Dungeons & Dragons is based from, old school fantasy tropes, folk tales, mythology, archeology.... I get it, a new age means new faces I dont relate too, and that is why tradition is important, to keep old timers interested too who we can relate to, or we move on or play older editions that do relate to us. Even though the rules are just rules and can be adapted to whatever floats your boat, everything now does not relate to me anymore in 5E. Sad and true & I accept it because there are My Little Pony frakn D&D figures now. No more He-man, Conan, Gi-Joe action figures. Sigh.I quit playing D&D when 4E came out, returned because of others for 5E and I am done. No more. Not interested. I don't need it. I got a library collection to use from old timer days & that's fine because the best writing came from before 4E anyways as the good stuff today is not from WOTC, it's from Paizo, DRUVE THRU RPG, Kickstarter, Ptolus, DCC, and Level Up, and so on, etc.. Some traditions do die and become anything but what it once was, kinda like 5E. And it hurts. And it's sad.(Psst, I purchased the damn D&D ponies for my kid - ahem me -  cuz we love the show, and I hope to create a game to introduce my kids to the classic D&D, so I am open to new beginnings.
