Maybe this de-evolution is due to a continued growing away from the dragon pantheon of deities, or the ongoing war between Bahamut and Tiamat.

So my solution, I think, as I build this Forgotten Realms based story (1372 DR +/-, ignoring everything introduced for 4th or 5th edition in the Forgotten Realms) is to introduce "elite dragons" who have retained their full spellcaster abilities, as opposed to the "normal" dragons who seem to have lost the ability to cast spells. So I am looking at 5e dragons like some inferior, de-evolved version of the previous generation. I haven't played D&D since 1e, so missed all the editions between, but noticed in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide (3e) and Dragons of Faerun (3e) that dragons were generally quite excellent spellcasters, and I confirmed this with the 3.5e MM.
Having just started putting together a dragon/dracolich centered campaign for a 5e game with my kids, I came up with this same question. I see nothing wrong in principle with just giving a dragon levels in one class or another, including wizard or sorcerer, but you'd have to refigure the CR case by case. This, unfortunately, doesn't give them a ton of spells however, it probably serves fine for any dragon who you don't want to be focused on spells, vs. The dragon's spell save DC equals 8 + its proficiency bonus + its Charisma modifier." The dragon's bonus to hit with spell attacks is equal to its proficiency bonus + its Charisma bonus. Each spell can be cast once per day, requiring no material components, and the spell's level can be no higher than 1/3 the dragon's CR (rounded down).
