I know that Artificer isn't a core class in the standard rules, but it has been widely popular for a while. I feel like that was the whole reason it was added to Tasha's, so it was viable outside of Eberron. But given it's popularity, why do so many sourcebooks, especially the 3rd party stuff not feature anything for the class. I feel like Obojima, Heliana's, and Valda's all feature themselves and spells that the Artificer would excel at, yet none of the new spells are designated for the class. Does anyone have any particular thoughts on why?
As Wagnarokkr says it's because the Artificer isn't in the SRD so third party publishers can't legally create new Artificer content unless they want to publish on DM's Guild and lose ownership of their ideas. It's not in the new 2024 SRD either so it's not going to change much going forward

Hello,

I feel like that was the whole reason it was added to Tasha's, so it was viable outside of Eberron.

The Artificer class not being part of the SRD may make it challenging for third-party publishers to create content for it.
