I have seen the 5e ruleset being implemented in videogame form and it works a lot better than what BG3 currently has to offer, mechanically at least. So no, the reason BG3 "sucks right" now aren't purists, its because Larian did not make a decision whether or not they want to implement 5e or DOS.
The problem aren't purists, or those who aren't its that the game right now is neither.
If you want the game to be more like DOS than everything 5e is annoying, I get that, I don't agree with it, but I get it.
If you want the game to be 5e anything that deviates too much from it is annoying, there is a reason 5e groups seldom do big homebrew additions these days.
What he said. Right now the issue is that there are too many rules of 2 different types of rules, and they both are clashing and ruining the balance.
