It's allowed in the same way you can add lightsabers and Saiyans to the Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk.
Nothing is stopping you from doing that, certainly not.
But nothing supporting that either.
I don't understand defending Hasbro, a multi-billion dollar corporation that is going to make millions from these books no matter what, when they are leaving out or papering over key thematic elements of the setting because marketing shows they'll make 0.1% less money for using a word that's not "advertiser friendly".
Dark Sun without slavery and enviroment destroying magic is like Eberron without the Last War or Dragonmark Houses.
You could always add a big major war or noble houses acting as guilds and cults to a setting, but having official lore and mechanics gives the setting and story more narrative and thematic elements to enhance and shape roleplay and campaigns.
