There really is no point to PUG's. This isn't a MMO where you hop with PUGs for a dungeon or 2.
The option is most definitely there, and if it isn't that type of game, why is it there exactly?
It's either the players or the devs that don't know.
maybe they're waiting on someone else.
Invite and friends only is an option in the menu
The option ISN'T there, once you're in the game you're there. You're either going to be stuck with one of their premades they might not want you changing or creating a main character they will have to be stuck playing 40 hours in when you stop showing up. You can't hop in and out with your same character. This isn't fake multiplayer like Borderlands.
You're supposed to have friends. You're supposed to get your friends together into one single play file. You're supposed to meet together EVERY time and play, then quit at the same time. There's people WITH friends who can't even play a real co op game; they need an MMORPG style game where their friend can join them every once in a while so they can "play alone together" which is fucking sad. Very few co op games actually make co op meaningful and Divinty Original Sin is included in there, just not as badly as most other games like Borderlands.
So stop. The point of the multiplayer is to sit down and go through a 60 hour game the entire way with one group of people. If you don't have a constant group like that you're better off playing alone, it's an excellent cRPG and you really don't need people to enjoy it. In fact, I'd say its a better game alone, but hey, few RPGs these days have such a well down co op experience so why not if you got a dependable group.
