These gamers fly under the radar, they don't attend tournaments or conventions and probably have not been in a game store since Reagan was the President. It is impossible to know how many of these groups are out there, but I think this might be an interesting test of that market.
And who says that an adventure done by a third party would be only available for TFT?

When I wrote my DnD5e adventure Lost Hall of Tyr, I realized midway through that it would be trivial to convert it to the much-simpler Swords & Wizardry using parentheticals in the text itself. While other systems might require more extensive stat-block work, the hard part - adventure design, layout, art direction and procurement - is already done. It's by and large a straight-forward thing to convert a module's guts in spirit to another platform.
