It's like kids playing tag, but now they are playing with light sensor guns and it is called lazer tag, but you are just sitting there thinking "that isn't tag, real tag you have to run up and touch the person, you can't just tag them out from a distance like that, it isn't fun and it isn't fair".
No.
What this is like is the following:
1. It's like playing tag since you were a kid, and every so often the rules are tweaked. You've played the latest rules of tag so you know what to expect.
2. Then, someone starts advertising that they're going to put together a game of tag using the latest rules.
3. They brag about how its going to be based on the older tag you played growing up, but using the new rules you're familiar with.
4. Finally, when you arrive for the big event, you find out that because the organizer thought lazer tag is more fun, that's what you'll be playing instead.
Is lazer tag fun? Yes. Would I still be pretty pissed if I paid to play tag and instead it was lazer tag just because someone thought regular tag wasn't fun enough? Also yes.
At this point the actual proper comparison is saying you're going to play football but instead you show up and its baseball, but I had to work with what you gave me.
The only reason this game is being made at all is because a community of people have supported a game and D&D for the last 20+ years. Literally that's the only reason, otherwise Larian would just be making DoS 3. So yeah, when you advertise that you're making BG 3 and using 5e rules, people expect it to be actual tag.
