not just that, but do commander players even care what plane we visit? format doesn't really impact the popularity of a set, or the desire to return to it... the cards do.
yeah those legacy players sure are hyped to return to zendikar! dominaria sold well because it once had lightning bolt printed in that setting! ...see how silly that sounds?
So? Commander players also tend to be Vorthos as well. And yes. Sometimes when our favorite cards are associated with a particular plane we get excited at the prospect of going back. I'll always get excited for Ravnica because I'm always looking forward to a new Niv card. So what does it matter that they've been doing 50% return planes (as long as you count GRN, RNA and WAR as a single entity it's actually slightly less than 50%)? They're going to use popular settings. It'd be like telling Marvel to stop publishing Iron Man.
do they? data on that?
half the dudes i play with couldn't even tell you what goes on in the story, and don't much care what plane we go to unless its one they already liked because it gave them powerful cards
i think if anything we take what we personally enjoy and ascribe it as a broad generalization to the playerbase
personally, as someone who primarily plays commander over the past 10 years, i don't care what plane we go to at all. there are a few characters i'd like to see get cards some day but beyond that? going back to zendikar is about as neat as going to eldraine, i don't care so long as the cards are good.
Y'all know they been doing ~50% return planes, new planes since Scars of Mirrodin right?

This is one of the major things I want to see here.
It is however a massive step in the right direction, and allows them to explore commanderiness more than they have in precons
