I also think it would (and can) be insanely more popular if 1. Folks understood there is a setting and tone to everyone’s taste (AKA not just fantasy), and 2. Folks embrace the length of time it happens over not as a weakness but a strength.

I will also say that, in general, D&D has become a very progressive space, encouraging folks across the spectrum of gender, sexual orientation, race, etc to come enjoy themselves and tell a story of their creation.
I'm skeptical about how well stretching setting and tone really does work within D&D. It doesn't take much before you're likely better off with a different system. Blades in the Dark, Call of Cthulhu, and Vampire: The Masquerade come to mind.
I will admit my lack of awareness and knowledge of these systems, but haven’t yet seen a setting that can’t be accomplished with enough reskinning and homebrew of 5e.
