You really need to keep up with the latest interviews with Mike Mearls. He literally stated that 4e was designed to appeal to early WOW players.
5e is what it needed to be - accessible to new players, leaving 3.5 and PF1 to those who enjoy a lot more customisation.
6e? It's a mess. There is so much flavour stripped out to appease a far too vocal minority.
It's an apologist's dream and I predict it will stall as the company never really showed the fans a reasonable level of respect after the OGL debacle.
DnD has always thrived when it's honest. The quality of what's been pushed on us is getting worse since Spelljammer... what a waste of potential.
