The issue is one of recollection. But I must agree, there are definitely times when I feel there is something profound within the concept of reincarnation. The spell still exists in 5E, and I think it would make a great topic for a story line. Imagine being reincarnated, and then going back to the things in your former life, but viewing them through different eyes! Whoa.
That's actually a dope scenario for a movie. Hell even for a game. Not necessarily a D&D game. But yeah.
