I agree that he wrote what he wanted and probably didn't spend much time when composing "tailoring" it for the bigger commercial arena of Broadway. And yes, I think some of his best work never made it to Broadway--the one-acts (especially The Zoo Story, whether in its original production or in the pairing with "Homelife," the original production of "Three Tall Women," and, as you note, "The Play About the Baby."

Technically speaking, "The Zoo Story" did make it to Broadway, in revival. In the fall of 1968, it was paired with "Krapp's Last Tape" for a brief run at the Billy Rose (now the Nederlander). "The Death of Bessie Smith," "The American Dream"and "Box" and "Quotations from Mao Tse-Tung" were also part of the same repertory season at the Billy Rose.
