Yeah you're going to need to cite some actual evidence for that.
Just look for number of people who play RPGs in Youtube. Compare those numbers with people who play or discuss D&D on Youtube. You can clearly see that D&D doesn't represent the majority of CRPG players.

Casual reminder that the *ONLY* reason this game is being made is because Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 were both so popular *AND* had monumentally dedicated communities to a D&D video game that is over 20 years old.
Causual reminder, kiddo, that when I played BG2 (I didn't know BG1 existed before playing BG2) on release, I was already an adult. I didn't care about D&D and loved the game because of the plot, gameplay, and attention to details by Bioware and Interplay/Black Isle Studio. BG3 is being made because the success of DOS2 caused WotC marketing team considered that it would be beneficial to attract attention of the DOS2 fan base to D&D 5e system, which will result in better sales after BG3 release (if the BG3 becomes a successful game).

The only reason you're playing this game is because people like D&D.
No. It's because people liked BG2. On the contrary, the success of BG2 caused my interest in the AD&D 2e because I wanted more BG2 experience.

If you want to play a game that ignores the rules of 5e, go ahead, pick up DoS 2 or DoS 3 whenever it is made. Larian decided to market the game as a D&D game based on the 5th Edition of the rules, so that should be the expectations for the game.
Don't you worry, I can decide what to play for myself without your advice.
