The point of a game is to have fun. The current design and flow of combat with all its complexities and computational attitude is decidedly NOT fun to play.
If the game is frustrating and not fun - people aren't going to love it. You arent going to get this "cult following" where people relish a sequel because theyre going to throw their mice before getting to level 5 and not want to ever play again.
Did....did you actually *play* Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2?
The only reason this game is being made *at all* is because those games were complex and computational enough to support a thriving and dedicated community for over 20 years with nothing more to sustain it than Enhanced Editions that added even more complexity via even more class options and spells.
I do agree with you that the game is not fun. It also isn't made in the spirit of the original Baldur's Gate games, again, the only reason this game is being made at all. While a looser and less strict/complex game is what *you* would favor, you also clearly aren't part of the community that sustain the BG series long enough to see it turned into a trilogy. So yeah, I'd rather Larian realize just why BG 1 and BG 2 were, and have remained so popular and so fun far longer than any other games in the genre. You can decry them all you want, those hardcore DnD and Baldur's Gate fans are why this game is being made at all.
