It seems like the complaint has thankfully gone away from the "BG3 doesn't look like a BG game" vein to one of "BG3 shouldn't look like DOS2." At least there is involves a clearer definition of terms. As for that argument, I am okay with it lookng similar to DOS2, since I loved that game. As you have expressed yourself, you didn't like DOS2 very much at all, which leads you to dislike the similarity. I can understand that. But I think we need a better argument than that (which you and/or others might have stated already. I haven't followed every last post). Ideally, a fresh new look that everyone (or a substantial majority) liked would be great, but that comes at the cost of time and money, and worst of all, is risky (since you don't know how the 'new look' would be received). For all we know, WotC might never have agreed to the deal if they didn't make it similar.
