Dragonball didn't need to be an isekai.
What are you talking about? Dragonball is already an isekai, just think about it. Goku literally came from a different planet, and was pretty much hostile to everything until he fell and hit his head on a rock.

Is it really an isekai if Goku doesn't remember life on Planet Vegeta Sei? For all intents and purposes, he practically was born on Earth. It is all he remembers, hints introducing himself as a Saiyan from Earth.

Yes. There are several Isekai series that I have read, the foremost in my mind being the Kuro no Shoukanshi (Black Summoner) where the MC gives all memories of his life on earth for more power in order to summon the Goddess of Reincarnation. Just because the MC doesn't remember their life on another planet doesn't mean it didn't happen.

And I will venture a guess that the first guy that came up with that genre was still low key with their approach where the protagonist, while still altering the events, is mainly bracing himself for the bad outcome while taking advantage of knowing what's going to happen and thus must keep the progression somewhat close to the original so that he can keep taking advantage of the game knowledge.

And since in these stories you don't really see the villains POV other than the final confrontation, so you get the leeway of being able to do whatever you want behind the scenes as long as the main plot beats still happen.

Then everyone starts apeing the concept and now we have derivative work where it might as well be original plot because the protagonist deviated right away.

What's the point of Pokémon isekai if right away Isekai Red quits being a trainer and work as a lab assistant and have nothing to do with being the very best.
The author probably watched Ash Ketchum kept being denied as champion for decades.
