Yes! every time I rant about Wizard of Oz and how it's been butchered nobody gets it :( and that's also why I despise Wicked.
One of the most astonishing things is how feminist the books are, especially for their time, and how ALL adaptations manage to mostly be... not.
And agreed that Return to Oz is the only halfway decent one.

Most people don't get it because they're focused on the film being a technical and cinematic marvel. Its importance in cinema history eclipses the source material for them. Many probably haven't even read any of those books. I mean, I've read a couple of them, enough to know the film isn't faithful, but I remember little to nothing about the story. Those songs though? Well-deserved classics.

I'm not minimizing the importance of the movie to cinema, nor how great a masterpiece it is - it just frustrates me when people act like that's the be-all end-all of Wizard of Oz, and that because of that all adaptations since are based on that movie (and most of them are lousy).
