Bioware had great reputation and they threw it all away which eventually led to their downfall, same thing may (or rather is happening i'm afraid) here. BG3 is commercial success, money is flowing so why bother? The trolling part makes little sense, but I've seen companies doing things that are far more stupid *cough cough blizzard cough cough* so that wouldn't surprise me. They are likely going for bethesda Fallout 3 route where you have to make "heroic sacrifice" despite obvious solution being right there and then it turns out you actually survive in DLC. Same thing happening here, obvious fixes across act 3 but you have to go to Avernus (likely dlc) to finally get fixed
