Shepard also came in two variants: male or female thirty-something human officer. Period.
People should realize what they are actually asking for and get a bit more realistic with their expectations.
In BG3 you'll have at least six-eight origin characters, 4 voices currently available for your custom main character and a lot of users are already asking for a lot more permutations on top of these, because they don't like how the available range of options fits their Scottish dwarf or their upcoming Dragonborns/Half-orcs.
Basically to have the "fully voiced MC" for each one of these options we are talking about an amount of work comparable to fully voicing the equivalent of AT LEAST 8-10 Commanders Shepard, in a game that could arguably be even bigger than Mass Effect in the end.
I won't pretend to talk for Larian and say it's impossible, but let's just say I'd be pretty damn impressed if they actually achieve it. And maybe even a bit disappointed that we can't have a proper day/night cycle but we can blow a truckload of money in redundant voice acting options.
P:S. About the thing this thread is actually about, I don't have much to add at this given moment over what was quoted in the OP; I'll lurk and wait to see what people think about it.
