There are so many D&D locations even within the Forgotten Realms, and a ton of other settings with their own cool stuff. Why do another Baldur’s Gate so soon? Taking a different direction might also blunt some of the inevitable criticism that it “isn’t as good as BG3.”
I’d love to have another campaign set in the Planescape setting of DnD, or the equivalent planar cosmology of Paizo’s Pathfinder. Both are packed with unique and interesting places, races, and individuals. The cool thing about a planar campaign is that you can include a visit to the Prime Material (aka “normal fantasy”) areas anytime you want.

Because it’s a known setting and one that is more popular than ever before. Trying something new is risky and companies don’t like risk.
