Maybe people should just stop playing D&D. It's a game mired in ancient game design and forced through a cheese grater of updates over the years to try and make it OK.
Also it's owned by Hasbro.
There are dozens of better role playing games. Some identical to D&D with better rules, others excellent with imaginative worlds that aren't just rehashes of lord of the rings and Arthurian legends.
Blades in the dark and other forged in the dark systems are famous for being an early breakout in RPG game design. I've run a blades in the dark campaign and it was awesome.
Check out the YouTube channel "Quinns Quest" and I'm confident you can comfortably try any game he has reviewed to get a better roleplaying experience than D&D.
