Your deep insight into the root of the issue astonishes me, man.
There is no point for deep "analysis" of a very simple problem. The younger generation of players simply demands yet another "awesome & actiony" [ideally without any dialogues] Dragon Knight Saga on their beloved consoles, because terms like "isometric" or "turn-based" sound for them like from completely different period.

Then what are you doing here? Because last time I checked the best game in the Divinity series was isometric Divine Divinity. You should install Derp Age 2 from bioware instead and enjoy the "very modern & awesome" third person derpg to the fullest.
