Notes -
Isekai is usually a thin excuse to put a protagonist most palatable to the modern audience - a modern person - into a wholly alien setting (making the setting "modern world but changed" would require extra work on integrating the changes while keeping the MC relatable). This is seen as immature reading.
It also intersects with tropes such as power fantasy (protagonist has some power that puts them ahead of natives, usually not gained through effort).
