I suspect there's also lots of demand from people that are stuck in the same routine for years and like to day dream that something exciting is going to happen in their life sometime.

The first isekai a lot of people were exposed to was Sword Art Online which, initially, had closer ties to the real world with a scenario that could (in theory) actually happen. Most recently, though, most isekai have abandoned the "it could happen in real life" angle, leading to crazy farfetched stories.

I hate to say it but one of the most recent ones, about the MC coming back as a vending machine, is really good.

Yep, it's basically a meme considering how absurd but it's pretty good, nothing ground breaking though
