To be fair fantasy's only games to breach normie containment were made after it was already dead.

There's like 6 or 7 aos games. Most of them are however shovelware like 40k. You're telling me you don't remember vr classic tempestfall?
Realms of ruin is the first (and so far only) aos vidya were somebody actually cared, which makes its flop all the more hilarious. The story is the only good thing about it ironically, it just did everything else wrong. Just bad decisions all around for an rts game.
That being said, the rest of your premise is essentially correct. Aos is a lot harder of a setting to sell in a short timeframe. I do think eventually it'll get some passable vidya but it's got some thing working against it for sure.
