I also don't agree with you. I understand what you mean but I don't agree with your reasoning. Because:

The license for Baldur's Gate 3 was given to Larian Studio by Wizards of the Coast on the premise, that the product would follow the 5e rules closely, on the premise that it would be designed with D&D players in mind. A group of players that is used to and by majority enjoys permanent consequences based on their choices in the game. A group of players that ferociously guards the immersion of the fantasy they build up. Remember, not all games are designed for the broad audience, and that's a good thing. There should be a diverse selection of products on the market. You don't ask for an easy mode in Dark Souls do you?

Secondly, you brought up the old worn and tossed consumer right argument. Just because you have paid for a product, doesn't always give you the right to dictate how that product should work or fit you. If you go to the cinema and watch a movie and afterwards concluded that you didn't like it, do you ask for a refund? No, because you have used the product in full. So normally in those situations you research the product first. Are the reviews good? What did my friends that saw it think? And that goes for this game as well. As if you mean those people that already payed for the EA? Well, they knew what they were doing, fully aware that this product in the end might not be for them. If not, that's on them.
