Sorry man but they want this game to be as true to 5E DnD as possible.

That's what I'm saying though, 5E has nocturnal creatures, certain races have better advantages at night time, etc.

The 5E ruleset has certain races with the racial trait of "Darkvision" and Elves have a racial trait of "Trance" in which they get the benefits of sleep that other races get, with half of the time and not truly sleeping. Night time is even a part of 5E.

If they want it as true to 5E DnD as possible, they'd have certain occurrences at night time, if not a day/night cycle, then at least something involving the camp system.

Edit: I'm glad we've been able to converse without the drama that's been going on this forum BTW. It's appreciated!

As far as I know neither D:OS title had a day/night cycle and even though they claim BG3 is running on a largely rewritten engine.. well.. I'll save that for my next write-up. Maybe there would have been more drama on my part a few months ago but at this point I'm just laughing it off. Tempered my expectations a great deal. You're welcome.
