Tastes vary, they don't bother me. It's easy to skip cut scenes you've seen before by hammering the space bar, although they need to disconnect that from dialog option choice.
Animated cut scenes and voice acting are something people expect from a $60 USD game these days. It will probably help sell more copies, and more sales means more resources Larian can put into the rest of the game. Also, developer teams are usually specialized. It's not like the animators working on these cut scenes could be working on AI programming or story writing instead.
