What I'm trying to say is that trying to serve two masters risks pleasing neither
i'd agree with what you're saying, except there was a recent fairly extensive interview with Gavin Verhey (the 'architect' of many MTG products) and he specifically said that with the removal of Masters sets, they'll be ramping up Modern reprints in ancillary products as their main avenue of servicing the format.
he also noted emphatically that the recent iteration of Commander precons didn't sit well with consumers because of the lack of meaningful reprints, so he said they were going to increase the inclusion of meaningful reprints in commander products.
both these things said in the same interview, and you get a pretty clear picture. It's more likely now that we'll have some decent Modern reprints in these ancillary products than ever before. fetchlands? sure, why not.
(oh and WotC keeps reminding us that it apparently "doesn't consider the secondary market value of cards" when creating products... I guess with their recent challenger decks they have shown to us that they are actually willing to put their methods into practice by including multiple valuable cards in an affordable package. They may continue this widely appreciated attitude with upcoming Commander decks)
Fingers crossed we see some fetchlands in the commander set.
There's no way
i mean, there is. there definitely is.
likely? not sure. but they could do it. a couple of fetches in each deck in a new series of commander precons would hit all ten fetches and work well in those decks, make for good sales and please modern and commander players alike.

Modern: G Tron, Vannifar, Jund, Druid/Vizier combo, Humans, Eldrazi Stompy (Serum Powder), Amulet, Grishoalbrand, Breach Titan, Turns, Eternal Command, As Foretold Living End, Elves, Cheerios, RUG Scapeshift
So, since the interview with Gavin Verhey I guess we're off the idea of a 'modern only' set, right?
It was a neat idea though.
I'm looking forward to whatever replaces masters sets, and for more modern-focused reprints in their draft-matters set this year (conspiracy, battlebond etc).
Fingers crossed we see some fetchlands in the commander set.
