So why apart from the Jon Pertwee era, which was set in the future,
is current Dr Who always set contemporaneously with the BBC audience time
frame?

Since Davies took over, all of the companions have been
a) from Greater London
b) from the current time period

obviously reflecting Davies' and BBC's notion of the target viewer.

Previous script writers were much more imaginative with companions
from ancient Troy, the distant future of earth, the Jacobite uprising,
an Australian etc etc
