The SRD includes character, monsters, and magic items but some things are still missing. For example, it is surprising that Bastions rules are not part of SRD 5.2
The SRD is not supposed to contain everything that the core rulebooks have in them. I can't speak to the reason Bastion rules were left out of it, but that was an intentional choice.

If the SRD had everything interesting from the PHB and DMG there'd be no reason to ever buy those books.
The free rules are so you can play the basics to see if you like it and want to invest in more options and interesting things. The SRD also serves as the basic foundation of the game for content creators to build upon to create their own D&D content.

Looks like Bastions not part of the SRD 5.2. At least I don't see it in table of contents. It wasn't in the free rules so we were not expecting it. Still disappointing. Bastions felt like one feature that needed commercial products from the community.

Removed: Half-Elf (race), Half-Orc (race) as these are not in the 2024 core rules https://19216801****/ https://routerlogin.uno/ .
Removed: “Fantasy-Historical Pantheons” and “The Planes of Existence,” as those are not rules-bearing to play fifth edition.
They still in SRD 5.1 and that is in Creative Commons. Publishers may need to technically cite both SRDs.
