They are doing their own thing - thats the whole point - Larian Studio's vision supported by WOTC - this game is not trying to be a BG3 in the literal sense of game mechanics of the 20 year old titles - its drawing on the world + D&D.
There is nothing wrong with having your level of expectation its just that you may have to temper them for a new vision from Larian. Keep giving feedback & hopefully (myself included) they will pull back towards more D&D aligned rules in some instances - i.e cantrips, surfaces etc.
I for one am throughly loving the game & any modifications made due to feedback by & large should only improve the experience - hopefully for you too.
