Literally the worst part of Baldur's Gate is the combat system. It is objectively inferior when it comes to DnD implementation.
The move to TB is logical because it allows the game to actually use the license that they have access to. This is coming from someone who still own the original big box versions of the BG series I purchased 2 decades ago, and owns every version of the games released, including platforms I do not own (Xbox).
You are complaining about having to actually play the game, so as far as I can see you don't actually like old school RPGs. The fact you even complain about the amount of lore the games contain seems to indicate that you should look at different gaming experiences, as this does not look like your wheelhouse at all.
