Just because it's D&D it doesn't mean it's baldurs gate
D&D doesn't necessarily mean BG, but BG necessarily means D&D.

seriously Larian why are you making baldurs gate when what you are doing really is just DOS3? People are not stupid or naive
A DOS2 sequel would continue the story of DOS2. BG3 will not. DOS3 would have the same lore and rules (largely) of DOS2. BG3 will have the rules and lore of D&D.
For the above reasons, it is indisputable (to the rationale minded*) that BG3 is not a sequel to DOS2 nor is it a clone of DOS2.
* or to those who do not consider the rules and lore of D&D to be insignificant.
